Hi,
I'm using CREW Runner to launch a macro (also tested with an app) that contains an action tool to update a value with a registry key read function but it's not working.
When I run the macro via another workflow everything works fine but when I run the macro using CREW Runner the action tool is ignored and nothing gets updated.
Is there a way to make this work?
Regards,
HL

Hi @HatemL
The runner macros are equivalent to opening a workflow in designer and pressing the run button. In this case for a macro the actions are not run. The actions only get run when the macro is embedded in a workflow. Does that match the problem you are seeing?
What is your actual use case here? Wondering if you could solve it without a macro or the runner macros in a simpler way.
Thanks
Adam

Hi Adam,
Thank you for your reply.
Reading your text about how the Runner works made me check how I had configured the Runner and I found out that I was running the macro and not the workflow where I've embedded the macro.
Changing that made the runner work just fine.
Thanks again!
