Autoit is not installing well

[davidtan]

I am getting an error that after when Autoit installed successfully then when I right click then go to "New" there is no Autoit page available when I try to open it from programe file SCI editor open but when I save code it save it in "Notepad" format?now what to do & how to solve this issue?

[Authenticity]

What do you mean "Notepad" format? Can you see file extensions? If so what is the file extension? Try to reinstall SciTE using this page. You don't need to but you can try to reinstall AutoIt from here as well.

I already re-install Autoit & SCIEditor for a lot of times but no success see even though autoit is installed but there is no autoit sign iin new.

And when I open SCIEditor from autoit folder it open normal & code also written there but when I save the code it save it in text formate eventhough extension is .au3 & also show like a text file & when open that text file it shows as follow

Can you export this key content to a file and post the content of that file: "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoIt3Script\Shell"

Another alternative is to do it yourself, I'm not in front of Windows XP so I don't remember it right but from any folder view, choose Tools -> Folder Options and the extensions mapping should be the third tab. Look at a few examples like .txt or .pdf to see how the extension's open or edit are defined. The rest should be like this but using your path:

Name -> Command:
----------------

Compile -> "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Aut2Exe\Aut2Exe.exe" /in "%l"
Compile With Options -> "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper_Gui.exe" /in "%l"
Edit -> "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTE.exe" "%1"
Open -> "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTE.exe" "%1"
Run -> "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe" "%1" %*
Tidy -> "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\Tidy\Tidy.exe" "%1"

It's better if you can fully install AutoIt and let it set the registry.

Looks like you have some old registry stuff bugging you.

Try running attached script and fix any issues.

You will have to share some more info because just telling us it doesn't work is not going to tell us much.

What did the script tell you about the installation?

[davidtan]

I turned my windows into clasic mode is it one of the reason due to which autoit is not playing well?

[Authenticity]

Doubt it's the class mode..

Try this one, save it to something.reg and register it, make sure the paths are correct before you write it to the registry:
