I got this to work by using ExecuteFile to launch a batch file to launch the application.
Seems like more work than it should be.

Does "Run" cause issues?

I have an application that runs on a regular PC with no issues but when I run on my VMs there is no screen control Let>RP_WAIT=0 MouseMove>100,100 Let>RP_WIN64PROCESS=1 Run>MAKEAUTOTEST_EXE WaitWindowOpen>Test Form Wait>2 MouseMove>1800,800 MDL>Test message (MAKEAUTOTEST_EXE is defined as the full p...

Great idea Grovkillen!

I have the Copy/Paste method working and have moved on other issues (getting OCR to work against the Windows application this license is for - buts that's another channel...).
If I have problems with Copy/Paste I will switch to your approach.

Thanks!

My script (which uses OCRArea) works fine as a script. When compiled, I get an errors (due to OCR) I get a message that the exe has stopped working (Immediately after executing OCRArea) I used to get a message about OCR.dll missing buit that does not seem to occur anymore I have OCR.dll and TessData...

Thanks Marcus but that gave me a blank

The table cell that has the license string is pretty large is fairly easy to locate based on window size so I am able to put the cursor in the middle, select all and copy.

I haven't used OCR much so I am surprised at the 'quality' of text capture If I OCRArea with a small border around the license key, the text gets detected correctly. As My rectangle gets larger, the detection drops off fast. If I try to do the entire window, I might get 4 characters out of the 22 ch...

I need to capture this license code but can't figure out how to extract that data RegKey.png I have tried the following (and lots of others) and "LicKey" doesn't even show in the Watch List // Capture License Key IEExtractTagByAttrib>IE[0],,textarea,,TextValue,1,LicKey IEExtractTagByAttrib>IE[0],,td...

After further investigation, this Windows Security preventing from automating the installer.
Once the software is installed, then I can click buttons and everything is fine.

So I am stuck fighting the UAC.
Any suggestions?

I understand this may be difficult to diagnose since I can't include a copy of our software (may be possible to share privately) When I do the following using Calculator, there is no problem - everything works as expected. However, with our software (written in Delphi), when I try to click a dialog ...

What version of Windows?

Just an FYI,
I have found that adding a small delay to LDown works much more consistently than LClick (at least with our software)

LDown
Wait>0.2
LUp

You could make it look very similar and even support the lookup into Excel for the project title.

I didn't realize you had it looking this polished already.
Not worth redoing if you don't have to at this point!

Price - need lots more details. Another option instead of Excel, is build a data entry program that your users will have on their machines. It could write their times into a CSV file that your main app digests. This has the advantage of not depending on Excel at all (what happens when some people ha...

If you have the authority to do so (and it sounds like you do), you can develop a template so that the data is in specific cells. Maybe even have a couple of cells that contain instructions or something that you could identify easily to ensure that the template has been used. (If cell A1 not equal t...

I have run into this issue several times too.

I actually include the "Include" line twice with the first one commented out so I can easily restore it.

It doesn't happen every time, and no consistent repro.
Often enough to be a real pain though.
