<Second time I have to type this text, fiurst time I got 404 error of the ARC website and all was lost>
This weekend I tried to auto-start EZ-B on power-on of the robot. Step1: Enable auot power-on, https://www.onlogic.com/company/io-hub/back-in-business-how-to-enable-auto-power-on/ Step2: Starting Windows 10 Without a Password , https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/16/technology/personaltech/starting-windows-10-without-a-password.html Step3: Add EZ-B to run automatically at startup in Windows 10, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-an-app-to-run-automatically-at-startup-in-windows-10-150da165-dcd9-7230-517b-cf3c295d89dd Step4: Auto Start Command Line Options, EDIT to show the supported website, https://synthiam.com/Support/ARC-Overview/loading-saving-robot-projects/Auto%20Load%20Project
I can automatically load a project file with the first parameter. That works Adding the second parameter "The name of the script control you wish to execute apon startup" gives an error. See below
The script I call does exists, e.g. I can execute
ControlCommand("ScriptInit", "ScriptStart")
But when executing the script at startup I get error below. Is that a bug or did I miss a step?
Version: 2020.11.02.00
System.Exception: ControlCommand Error. 'ScriptInit' does not exist. Can not send command 'ScriptStart'.

Can you show me your command line please
I'm unable to reproduce the issue. The following works fine in my tests on this saturday morning. I have a project "test startup project", a script that is named "test script", and I launch ARC.EXE from the command line as such...
Lastly, the startup EZ-Script manual link is not officially supported and was created by a third party. You would want to use the SUPPORT tab on the top of this website to access commands, tutorials, manuals, etc..
Here is a direct link to the auto start in the official support section: https://synthiam.com/Support/ARC-Overview/loading-saving-robot-projects/Auto%20Load%20Project
Please reference the official support section for up to date documentation and instructions
Hi DJ,
Thank you for the quick reply, as usual.
I was not aware I did refer to a not supported website, my apologies, have updated the link with the correct one. My purpose to give back to the community by articulating the steps.
I tried the same as you and created a new small new test project and it all worked fine, no issues.
I tried again within an existing (large) project and it did not work, still got the same error. The code:
The script does exist:
Thinking about the differences: in the large project it contains camera, cognitive, speach recognition, etc. Maybe it misses a window/timing issue? Maybe related to the new windows update, I need to re-arrange constantly to find stuff back? Anyhow, just brainstorming to try to give the right input.
p.s. in the script help within EZ-B is a small typo. It states
while it should be (like it is correct in the official support website):
Thanks! I'm looking into this. Stay tuned :)
Many thanks. Solved in version ARC 2020.11.11.00 (Early Access)
