Do you mean that the midi.exe isn't in c:\Eigene Dateien? And you want to find where it is without lauching a file open dialog?

No the midi.exe is in C:\Eigene Dateien

but when i start it wiht shell run,

Shell.run("C:\\Eigene Dateien\\midi.exe");

it execute like midi.exe was in C:\pic\

and i think that this is because, befor i stat shell run, i brouse Pictures with Dialogs.fileOpen methode.


if i brouse befor with var

f = Dialogs.browse("Test'', "c:\\'');

the midi.exe will be execute in the Folder i selected

i want to select the Folder without Dialogs.browse to execute the midi.exe in this Folder

The Shell.run method doesn't set the working directory of the new process, so it always uses the current directory of the main process. We will add the feature in the next version.

In Swfkit pro, u can do like this

Dll.registerFunction("kernel32.dll", "SetCurrentDirectoryA",
"setCurDir", "stdcall", "long", "string");

var exename = "C:\\Eigene Dateien\\midi.exe";
var file = new File(exename);
trace(setCurDir(file.parentPath));
Shell.run(exename);
