You need to write it like that:

OS.execute('C:/Users/Seppoday/AppData/Roaming/Spotify/Spotify.exe', [], true)

Path have that slash "/" not that "\" and you add array, and true or false at the end.

Answer 1

Try doing:

OS.execute("D:\\Coding\\ascii\\dist\\main.exe", []) #<- make sure that you are properly escaping the backslashes.

Other than that go check out the documentation for OS.execute()

https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_os.html#class-os-method-execute

thank you

   OS.execute("D:/Coding/ascii/dist/main.exe",[])

works as well, though

Answer 2

OS.execute('shell_command', [])

I tried

func _ready():
    OS.execute("D://Coding/ascii/dist/main.exe")

error: Too few arguments for "execute()" call. Expected at least 2.

---

OS.execute("cmd.exe", ["D:\Coding\ascii\dist\main.exe"])

doesn't return error, but neither executes the file

---

OS.execute("D:/Coding/ascii/dist/main.exe",[])

finally worked, but makes main.exe return errors that it wouldn't if i run it in win explorer.

anyway, others, take note that OS.execute() runs file in project directory for some reason
