Running AutoIt from batch file in network drive - possible?

#1 Post by CWK » 20 Nov 2013 19:02

I have a simple batch file:

echo on
AutoIt3_x64.exe watch24.au3

that runs successfully if I put it and the associated exe and .au3 file in a folder on my HD.

But if I try put it into a network drive and try to run it, I get:
'path of the network drive'
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory.
C:\Windows echo on
C:\Windows>AutoIt3_x64.exe watch24.au3
'AutoIt3_x64.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Is there any way around this that will allow running the batch at a network location? I have tried mapping the path of the network drive (to w:/) and playing around with the batch file to switch to w:, but find noting that works.

Thx
