Well, I'm out of ideas. If the shortcut works when you click on it, it should work when you execute it in Rainmeter.

Re: Trouble with RunCommand
Well I found a related thread in a DA forum (archived)
It said copy ALL of the Physx>>>.dll to the bin_ship directory.
Now it works, with no annoying launcher or desktop icon with just the path i was trying to use.

There are many ways to be different - there is only one way to be yourself - be amazing at it
The law of averages says what it means; even if you get everything right, you will get something wrong. Therefore; self managing error trapping initiates another set of averages - amongst the errors, some of them will not be errors, instead those instances will appear to be "luck". One cannot complain of the 'appearance' of 'infinite regress of causation', even if it does not have a predictable pattern, only that it requires luck to achieve.

Re: Trouble with RunCommand
This shouldn't have been required, if the program worked fine when using a shortcut on the desktop. I'm just guessing here, but it could have been a permission issue, maybe? I'm not sure how Rainmeter or RunCommand are running things, but if I'm not mistaken, when one is running things from the desktop, the "author" of the execution is the current user, as far as the OS "understands" it.
Anyway, since the issue is solved, there isn't much to "fix" anymore. I was just trying to figure out why it didn't work (when it was supposed to do it).

Re: Trouble with RunCommand
You're likely correct. I changed permissions on the exe, but there is no way to do that in a rainmeter link mouseclick event.Yincognito wrote: ↑February 21st, 2020, 1:40 pm This shouldn't have been required, if the program worked fine when using a shortcut on the desktop.

I also run rainmeter in administrator mode, this helps with other mouse events to avoid that annoying permission popup for certain programs.
In any case the solution is satisfactory.
