Opening multiple files from a script in XP

[Bob Sneidar]

BTW I should mention that I attempted to use launch by itself and the result is No Association, even though I set an association already to Acrobat Reader 11. I attempted in vain to use launch URL. Not sure how to format the URL when it has a drive letter in it. “File:Y:/<therestofthepath>” does not seem to work. I get “Can't open file.” I’ve used forward and back slashes with the same results.

Hi all.

I have gotten an app to beta, and am now trying to open multiple PDF files in Windows XP by script. I can open them from Windows Explorer and they will open multiple instances in Reader, but if I attempt this from a script, only the first one opens. The result is “ Process is already open”. The exact same stack works a peach in OS X Mavericks. Any ideas?

I’m going to hazard a guess and say that launch document does not work with multiple documents in Win XP. It might in Win 7 but I don’t have an available instance to test with right now.
