What is it you are trying to achieve?
Sys.Exec


What is the problem you are having?
It is not executing a file which although is not in the same folder as the turing program, has the directions starting from C as to where to go.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I put File.Exists to the location of the file i want to execute and it came back true. Sys.Exec does not work though.




Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1.1

This is the code I have for now. The turing program will be located on the desktop. The folder "Temporary files" is also located on the desktop and inside the folder is Location.vbs which is what I want the turing program to run


if not Sys.Exec ("Temporary Files/Location.vbs") then
cls
put "Run Failed. 'Location.vbs' is missing"
end if

Once again, it is recognised as a file when I run File.Exists in place of the Syhs.Exec
