Need help with controlling an app

[simon]

Dean, I am sure this error is user caused!

I will have another go later tonight.
Is there a way to edit a driver? At the moment I am deleting them and adding them again.

[Dean Roddey]

Currently you cannot edit the settings. That's something that's now high on the list of usability improvements. So you do have to remove and re-add.

Also see if any error message shows up in the app control server's window when you try to run Notepad.

Okay, I have notepad working.
Still not the other programme.

If I go to the command line I can enter x10comm, hit return and all is fine.
Might it be that CQC is calling the prgramme in a way it doesnt like?
Not that I know how of if thats possible!

[simon]

Rock and Roll, it is working!!!

Inside the folder there is another programme called x10com32.exe
I used that rather than x10comm.exe and now its works!!

I am off to add my lights to my templates; I knew it had to be my fault somewhere along the line

Dean and others,

I am experiencing this exact same problem. I have a 1 line cmd program that I am trying to call via the App Control program. I get the error "%1 is not a valid win32 application"

If I double click on the actual file, it gets run without a problem.

I assume it has something to do with the fact it is a .CMD program instead of a .exe program.

Any suggestions on how to start a .cmd script with the App Control Program?

Thanks,

Nevermind...

After a little more seraching I found this post from you.

Only executables are ummm... executable :-) When you run a command file, you are really running the system command processor and the command file is just a parameter to it. So you would want to do something like:

cmd.exe /k somecmdfile.bat

I changed my logic to run the cmd.exe program with the /k KillAGServer.bat parameter and it works.

Sometimes it really sucks when you don't know "programming speak" :-)
