I got tired of AVG killing my exe files. I finally gave up and went to avast! No issues since.

Is there a way in autoit to determine if a user has admin rights before doing something. I have a script that starts up some services that require admin rights, and would like to abort before it starts trying to do something if the users doesn't have admin priviledges. I triked quick search, but didn't find anything. Sorry if this is repeated.

I dunno, I've seen that before. I compile again and it works the second time.

Definitely easier, but I can see value in trying to get it to work minimized so you can do other things on your machine while it is running...

Yea I basically figured that out. Apparently the previous versions didn't care about that, but I was sloppy I guess since it let me get away with it before. I'm more wondering if there is a document or something that details the changes from the last release to the beta.

That seemed to solve the compile problem Now my scripts don't run. I keep getting Error: Can not redeclare a parameter inside a user function. Is there a list/document of what changed in the latest beta version. Whatever I'm doing is obviously different from previous versions in some way.

Those files seem to be in order. Strange is if I reinstall an old install file I had floating around (autoit-v3.0.102.exe), then compile works again fine. If I try and install what is on the web site (autoit-v3-setup.exe), it doesn't let me compile.

I get unable to create compiled archive every time I try and compile any autoit scrips. I can still run the .au3 scripts. I tried uninstalling/installing autoit again. I'm at a loss. I was running avg anti virus and it kept flagging certain .exe programs that I had compiled with autoit as viruses which seems to be about when the problem started. It was moving them to a virus vault. I couldn't figure out how to keep it from doing this. But at any rate. I just deleted them, and tried to recompile the scripts and get the above error. Any ideas? If I try it through SciTE it brings up the aut2exe window etc. I click compile, the status bar gets most of the way across and up pops an error dialog box. Error: Unable to create the compiled acrhive. Oh yea I totally exited the avg anti virus program before trying to compile etc just to see if that might have been causing a problem. Any ideas?

No doubt, this from an ex Textpad user for Autoit who was a foot dragger for months before switching to SciTE and not looking back for sure.

I guess this would have some initial use but full/established handicaps are based on your 10 best differentials out of your last 20, so long term this wouldn't be helpful, but maybe to give a new person some idea of an initial handicapl, it's quick and easy. Not sure what your intended use was/is.

Yea I tripped on this at the version change some of my stuff quit working. I just wrote a rather mornic function and call it instead of stringisspace as in my little world, empty is the same as whitespace. Func StringIsEmpty ( $sstring ) local $sstring if stringisspace ($sstring) or $sstring = "" then return 1 else return 0 endif endfunc

Yea the compiled executables will run anywhere. Doesn't even required autoit to be installed on the computer.

Thanks. Works great!

How do I change it so when I edit a file with SciTE it comes up with the view defaults of line numbers and margins turned off? As it is everytime I edit a script, I have to go uncheck those boxes. I like the fold margins and indentation guides, but don't see much use for margin, and while line numbers can be useful at times for debugging, I'd rather turn it on than have it always on by default.

I did something like this $workingdir = "c:/whatever" $exe = $workingdir & "/" & "hl.exe -console -game cstrike" Run($exe, $workingdir)
