AutoIt3Wrapper is a Wrapper application for AutoIt3 and Aut2Exe

Compile an AutoIt3 script:

AutoIt3Wrapper is an AutoIt3/AUT2EXE wrapper program that can compile your script with all settings as save in an INI file or defined in your Script source with Compiler Directives, update the Resource information like Comment, Description, Legal Copyright and Program version of the target executable. It's is now also used to enable you to: AU3Check and/or Run an Autoit3 script with the latest Production or Beta version.

AutoIt3Wrapper will perform the following tasks for you when wrapping Aut2Exe (Compile):

Read the command line options which are supported by aut2exe.
Read any info from the Scriptname.Ini file as defaults if its available.
Read the input script searching for compiler directives. If found, it will override any other setting.
Run program(s) defined by the Run_Before directive(s).
Run Tylo's AU3Check program (Optional) to verify the script. When errors are encountered you will be prompted if you want to continue or stop the compile process.
Run Tidy (Optional) at Run and Compilation time.
Run Obfuscator (Optional) after the Obfuscated source will also be checked by AU3Check.
Run aut2exe.exe, return code reported to console.
Updated the program resources like Version, Copyrights, comments and adding files like extra ICO's.
Run UPX when requested.
Run program(s) defined by the Run_After directive(s).

AutoIt3Wrapper will perform the following tasks for you when wrapping AutoIt3 (Run):

Run Tylo's AU3Check program (Optional) to verify the script. When errors are encountered you will be prompted if you want to continue or stop the compile process.
Run AutoIt3.exe with your script source, return code reported to console.

To set the defaults for the different functions you can copy AutoIt3Wrapper.ini.example to AutoIt3Wrapper.ini and make the changes you like for defaults for all options.

Using the Compiler Directives.

You can define the Compiler Directives in your script and have AutoIt3Wrapper.exe compile it with these settings:

Adding Extra Ico's to the program resources.

Example adding additional Icons to the Program resources and using it in your script.

To test, compile the below script and run the exe:

Adding RT_STRING to the program resources.

Example adding an RT_STRING to the Program resources.
Create the following INI file:

# string ID = WORD (16 bits):
# first 4 bits = string index in the block, 0-15
# top 12 bits = block ID - 1
# blocks must start at 1, so top 12 bits equal to 0 is block 1
#
# the section heading is the language to update
# be aware that AutoIt uses several string blocks in the UK language 2057 for built-in strings
#
[0]
0=first string in first block
1=second string in first block
15=last string in first block
32=first string in third block
33=second string in third block

[2057]
0=this is UK string 1
1=this is UK string 2
