rberq 19 Report post Posted April 1, 2019 I can reproduce the problem on my PC, which is running ME 3.9.0.1 and Windows 7. But I don't know the solution. If I type in the program name and checkmark the box "Bypass File Existence Check" in the Program Launch command, then the macro fails with "program not found" when I run the macro. ME 3.11.1.1 on Windows 10 behaves the same. Somewhere along the way, I believe Windows introduced some freaky cataloging/registering technique for executables, where they couldn't be run by the customary methods. I never did understand it and still don't, and in fact I may have dreamed it but I don't think so. Do a google search??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
