Run Modules - Cannot Generate The Result File

[Guest Guest_Doris]

Background: Win 2003 Server + Latest Voiceguide.

 

Setting: Voiceguide runs an exe (test.exe) in a path (e.g. d:\testprogram) which will generate the result file. (i forgot the name).

 

Symtom: when you click the exe manually, the file is generated. but it is voiceguide to trigger the exe, the file is not generated.

 

Solution: put the program under C:\Document and Settings\Administrator (the loggined a/c).

 

Explanation: when voice guide runs the program, its path is at C:\Document and Settings\Administrator (the path in the default command prompt). If we kept on running the program in d:\testprogram, there may be file not found or similiar problems

 

Maybe the support team can give a better explanation. But i do think the above findings can help some of you.

Sounds like your test.exe program saves the result file in a 'current' directory, without specifying the path.

'Current' directory is left up to Windows to decide, so quite often files that programs ask for windows to save in a 'current' directory wind up in place other then expected..

 

When outputting the results file from within programs it's usually best to explicitly state the full path of the results file.

 

We recommend using the COM function Run_ResultReturn when returning info to VoiceGuide from 3rd party programs. see: http://www.voiceguide.com/vghelp/html/com_...esultReturn.htm
