Excellent work crashdemons, I just tripped the same problem

update: got it to work I did another uninstall, this time I clicked the option to remove all registry entries. Deleted all the autoit-123 stuff. Reinstalled both v3 and the beta version with double click == edit (as above). Unzipped autoit-123 again into a new directory and run it, works OK now - all the demos work I think I've earned a beer Pete

OK I'm getting the same kind of errors that the OP had. I've downloaded/installed autoit v3 and the beta version. I've downloaded and unzipped the autoit-123 file. (New release Aug 9 2006, running on W2K SP4) Since it comes with no install instructions I just created a directory called "howto" and unzipped the executable and directories in there. Now, when I run the exe, I get exactly the same errors as above. Deinstalling autoit and reinstalling fixes it, provided you set the default double-click action to "edit" during the instalation process (the pre-selected action in the installation program is "run") After that, running autoit-123 and clicking Show Me SciTE - Editor pops up a new window containing the Lesson-1.au3 file. If you have the default double click action set to run then this button fails. The Show Me - search help button acts the same. Clicking the Show me - help demos button still fails with the error Line 0 (File "C:\autoit\howto\Autoit-123.exe"): For $X = 1 To $FileList[0] For $x = 1 To $FileList^ ERROR Error: Subscript used with non-Array variable after clicking OK, the program fails and terminates. Now, as you can tell by looking at the date I joined this forum (i.e. today), I'm a complete novice so far as Autoit goes, and the very first sample program I run fails almost immediately. I'm still forming my first impressions of the package - so far, I can't say I'm happy. Can someone please help me sort out this stumbling block, so I can see if Autoit can fulfill my hopes for an easy to use windows automation program? Pete
