Thanks JRL. No need for them to see it. I move it and zip it. And for this I can use system vars etc.

Quick question: Do any of the system vars get expanded when used in this option? i.e. %AppData% I am guessing not... (I am struggling to find a generic place to write the log file to on a user's system, without running as Admin) And while we are it, I find that even if I write Let>_WRITE_LOG_FILE=0 ...

Thank you, Marcus. :-) Indeed, setting compile options to /LOGFILE=C:\Users\Phil\Desktop\support.log made a log for me :-) Great stuff, so I know it works now and why it was not being written. I did search a lot and could find no clear indication that the settings work from compiled scripts, so this...

Hi Dorian, If you've already successfully logged compiled scripts then we're part way there. No I haven't this is my entire question. :-) I cannot get the logfile to be created when running a compiled script. Thanks for that. Unfortunately, this is all pretty much as I have it already. I have used i...

Hi guys, I am sorry but I fear you have both missed my point here. (My fault I am sure). IF>%writesuplog%=True As code, works perfectly to execute what is inside it. I have been using this method for 15+ years, no issues. I thought I had already mentioned that I have compiled with: LOGFILE=%SCRIPT_D...

I have found a few very old threads about this and would like to ask a quick question about logging from a compiled script. I already understand that the log file can bet set like this: Let>LOGFILE=%SCRIPT_DIR%\support.log And that log file writing can be turned on and off with this (1=on 0-off): Le...

Hi Phil,

...and how other users deal with it.

Mostly by cursing.

Been dealing with this for a few years.

Hi JRL,

Thank you for this. There are some great points there. I will try to go through this in detail after the weekend.

If you're using 365 you're able to add exceptions to the windows defender using the portal. Works ok for us in our workplace.

I have office subscription but not a company one. However, the issue is not really for me but for the other people I send the files to.

Hi Dorian, yes I read all that before. I cannot afford to get code signing. These are just few free applications. The odd thing is that the last version of MS was not having this issue. It could be coincidence that I just updated to 15.0.24 from 15.0.22 and that is when the issue started. I know it ...

15.0.24 / Windows 11 latest. Just compiled all my scripts with latest version and Windows is immediately deleting them. Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml I know this is a false positive of course. Recently I had to jump through a ton of hoops, (took me weeks) to get the upload accepted on a site that uses V...

OK needed to enable 2FA and now it works thank you.

The account I am using does not allow app passwords. But really I need to get the mailto link working instead.

Thanks anyway.

You should just need to create an app password:

https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords

I will give that a try. I did see this when following the help link but was not sure of the procedure. More learning... All good.

Hmm any idea what the format would be? I tried adding a body section and the script fails.

nb. I would love to just switch to using a gmail account to send the email using sendmail but it seems to no longer work despite following all guides here.
