Launching external app problem

General
1

Hello all you fine folks!
I’m having trouble with launching an external app…something I have done many times, and am quite familiar with. Why this isn’t working is baffling. Best I get is a “working” spinning circle for a few seconds, and then nothing. Running on Windows 10.
BTW: I have tried both a 32-bit build and a 64-bit build. Currently sticking to 64.
I have also tried running my app as administrator (that right-click method), and have also used Resource Tuner to edit the manifest of my exe and have it run with elevated permission. Nothing works.
Anyway, here’s what I’ve got:

dim FProg as FolderItem FProg = SpecialFolder.Applications.Child("app folder").Child("app.exe") If FProg <> Nil Then FProg.launch("app.exe") Else MsgBox("FolderItem does not exist!") End If
The app is in its own folder inside C:\Program Files
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :slight_smile:

  dim FProg as FolderItem
  FProg = SpecialFolder.Applications.Child("app folder").Child("app.exe")
  If FProg <> Nil and FProg.exists
    FProg.launch
  Else
    MsgBox("FolderItem does not exist!")
  End If

try that

Awesome, Dave! You’re a lifesaver, thank you so much.
