You try to use AutoItX. AutoItx allows to call AutoIt functions from other languages. That means that you can't use AutoIt to compile the source.
Can you please describe what you want to to.

BTW: You posted in the wrong forum. This kind of thread belongs to the "Help and Support" forum.

That code and that error are unrelated. The code you posted is using AutoItX while the error you posted could only come from an executing script.

Edit: Wait are you trying to compile that source in AutoIt? That makes even less sense.

If I execute the script in vbsedit then I can successfully execute but I made the changes in the script so that I can execute the script in sciTE4AutoIT editor but I am getting error even I registered the Dll and added the COM component but I am failed to execute the script in scite4AutoIT editor I am learning AutoIt usage with COM objects.

I am not compiling my code I m just executing by pressing F5


Thanks for the replies Water, and Richard

Your code is a mixture of VB and AutoIt. VB calls AutoIt. Therefore you have to execute the script in a VB environment because ScitTE4AutoIt doesn't understand VB.

[AshishBajpai]

when we are creating script in autoit and we need to use COM then we need not to use createobject. Directly we can write


Dim $oShell
$oShell=ProcessExists("notepad.exe")

If ($oShell) Then
MsgBox(0,"ashish","Process Exists")
Else
MsgBox(0,"ashish","Process does not open")
EndIf

I executed and it is working.

Thanks to Dear Water and Richard for sincere n quick reply
