ExecApp Action Failing
#1
I am trying to use the ExecApp Action command from a button in one of my templates and am getting the error:
Code:
10/30 19:17:46-CQC-MasterPC, CQCIntfView, MainThread
{
    CQCKit, CQCIntfEng_ActEngine.cpp.726, Failed/Cannot Do, Error: 770/0/0
    An unknown exception occured during command processing. Offending cmd was:

"%(1)"
    System::ExecApp(C:\\Program Files\\CQC\\Helpe..., , , Show)
      <CQCIntfView> CQCIntfEng_ActEngine.cpp - 742
      <CQCIntfView> CQCIntfEng_View.cpp - 6132

Command used is:

System::ExecApp
    P1=C:\\Program Files\\CQC\\Helper Apps\\autohotkey\\click midleftcam.exe
    P2=
    P3=
    P4=Show

I have a feeling this is a bug that was introduced somewhere after 5.4.0. I use this for a Halloween thing so only noticing the issue now unfortunately.  I was able to roll back to that earlier version in a VM image to test quickly and the same action works there just fine. Hoping this can be looked into and validated by someone else on 6.0.x to start. 

If it is in fact a defect I am not sure if any fixes are yet to come with CQC or not but if so perhaps it could be looked at and corrected sometime down the line.  

Wondering if this has something to do with this issue I reported earlier as well and if so could maybe be fixed at the same time.

and the potential root of that issue.  After reading again now I am not so sure that is related or not.

Is the name of that program actually 'click midleftcame.exe'? Or is click a program and midleftcam.exe a parameter to it?

Yep, that's the actual name of the .exe or Program name -'click midleftcam.exe'.  I tried another program that didn't have such a strange name with a space in it and had the same outcome.  

I also just tried with a totally bogus name of just c:\\  and the same thing happens so it appears it's not even getting to the point of trying to find and run the .exe perhaps.
