iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Invoke iMacro.Sidebar.exe with batch file.

Post by sqlcode » Mon Nov 13, 2017 3:26 am

I am on Win 7 (64 bit) Enterprise version and & using iMacro 11.5 Enterprise version on IE V 11. Here is my test file. When I execute batch file, it opens IE with sidebar but doesn't execute Macro at all. I have tried putting amy test macro to default iMacro path and it still doesn't work.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Ipswitch\iMacros\iMacros.Sidebar.exe" -macro "C:\my_macro_path\test.iim"

My 2nd question is, is there a way to capture Function Keys and handle them in iMacro? I need to press certain function key and be able to handle some more tagging in iMacro.
