I need a batch that starts programs one after another and I can't seem to get it to work.
I first need to start a scrip that's giving me a desktop background in a custom shell, then hyperspin should launch which starts mamehooker as well.
That's my ahk:
Run, c:\wallpaper.exe marqeuee.bmp
Sleep, 2000
Run, c:\hyperspin\hyperspin.exe
Doesn't work, what am I missing? Wallpaper app works, so does hyperspin that starts mamehooker, but the script doesn't launch one after another.

Code looks ok but you mispelled marquee in the BMP filename, could that be it?
-
Oh, no its correct in the script.

Maybe that's a stupid question but does ahk need to be installed on the computer im using the ahk batch file on?

yep, unless you have compiled to .exe

I have compiled.

I'm a dumb end-user, but here are my thoughts anyway. :P

What exactly is happening? Is the wallpaper app launching, but not Hyperspin?
If that's the case, it might be waiting for the one program to close before opening the next.
I'm not sure about ahk, but in a batch file you'd make it:
start wallpaper.exe
to run them simultaneously. (Run, start c:\wallpaper.exe marqeuee.bmp maybe?)
If the wallpaper app isn't launching, then will it launch if it's the only thing in the script? If not, then does it depend on something that loads with explorer and isn't being loaded when shelled?

Aah... Thanks for all the input. In the end it was the registry setting that started the wrong shell... :-D
