Run Program Fails

Hello, I have the run programs set to run an exe that is installed as part of the installer.

- The exe does not run.
- It does not run if I execute it directly in the folder it is installed into.
- I can move the executable into a different folder and it runs normally.
- The executable runs normally in the source folder for the installer.

I'm pulling what little hair I have left out trying to figure this out.

I suggest you use the Run Program As command. Just leave the user and password fields empty (they are used for running the program under a different account, leaving them empty defaults to the current account - the behavior you want).

The upside to using Run Program As is being able to specify a startup directory. You probably want to specify the folder the program is inside as a startup directory. This typically solves all problems that are generally encountered with Run Program (without the As).
