Hey guys

I am trying to make an install script to automate the installation for users of Origin 2016 9.3 64bit
Running on Windows 7x64 machines

There's a problem though with the file assocations
When I open a OPJ file through file explorer it gives me an error "there was a problem sending the command to the program" and does not open my project file

If I run the script from origin 2016 > Window > Script Window and run:
doc -ddde 1

Then launch origin as admin > close it

Double click my opj projects and it fixed the issue

But is there a way to do this with my install script so users do not need to all do this?

Such as delete a reg key or launching origin with some modified arguments?

Any help will be appreciated

Hi

When Origin is started in a Command line environment (such as Windows cmd window), it reads the command line beyond the Origin.exe call to check if any optional arguments have been specified.

For example:
First it changes the current directory to the Origin exe directory. It then calls Origin and passes the following command line arguments:


cd "C:\Program Files\OriginLab\Origin2016"
 
Origin93.exe -m -rs 
type -b "doc -ddde 1";exit


-m:Minimize the Origin application.
-rs: Similar to -R but without having OPJ specified. All the remaining string from the command line will be used as LabTalk script and run after Origin C startup compile has finished.

Thanks
Jacqueline

Thank you for your response

I spoke to someone on your chat support and they were able to tell me to run origin via cmd as such to run the script:

C:\Program Files\Originlab\Origin 2016\Origin93_64.exe" -h -rs doc -ddde 1

This still requires the user to run origin as administrator first though

So I am just trying to automate that as well
