Compilation of Scripts recorded with Webrecorder

[fme]

Hello

I just got the Pro Version. I recorded a Internet Explorer Session, added some commands to the script and compiled it.
When I ran the .exe the icon just blinks in the tray, but nothing else happens.
Running the script in Macro Scheduler works fine.
A Test Script, that uses "pure" VB Code runs as a compiled version.

This is the "naked" script, also doesn't work.
Did I miss something?

Thanks for helping

The EXE needs the runtime (IEAuto.DLL). Since you've used the Imports method you need a folder called Imports beneath the EXE containing both IEAuto.INI and IEAuto.DLL. Copy these from the Imports folder beneath Macro Scheduler.

If you recreate it using the LibFunc method then only the DLL is required and can be either in the path or in the same folder as the EXE.

Thanks a lot, that helped!

I will try the second way as well, but to be honest I haven't digged the LibFunc method yet. Will do some testing, maybe I need another good hint, the Helpfiles don't show a complete example.

Well stick with what works best for you. The LibFunc method just means less to ship with the EXE. If you want to try it just record some actions with WebRecorder using the LibFunc output format and take a look at the result.

Will do so, I think I am getting the idea, while working through the examples in the Webrecorder Helpfile..


Thanks again for your help!
