Frequently Asked Questions

 

  1. How can I let a script call another one and continue independent execution of both?  
  By using the LaunchScript(...) function, which also allows you to pass up to 9 arguments through the call.
Example: LaunchScript( "C:\My Scripts\new-script.txt" "argument 1" "argument 2" "argument 3" ) 
 

  2. How can I deploy scripts to other workstations without the need to install daVinci on each one of them?  
  The daVinci Script executables combined with a script or a set of scripts (what we call for daVinci Solution) can easily be deployed to other workstations for execution there, without the need to reinstall the application.
This will require collecting from the daVinci installation folder a certain number of files to be deployed to the target machine.

- At a minimum you will need to collect the executable daVinci.exe, all the DLL:s and the configuration file daVinci.cfg (plus, of course, all
  the script files).
- If the scripts make use of the
Editor or Monitor function, the executable daVinciAux.exe will also be needed.
- If the scripts interact with the Office applications (for document conversion, macro execution etc.) the file
Exec.dat will also be needed.
 
Note however that the described procedure only works while deploying to a machine running the same OS (for instance from XP to XP or from Vista to Vista).
