squone Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 So I managed to lose my .au3 files when I upgraded to 7 but had a backup of the compiled versions sitting on a friends computer. Is there anyway to get my code out of these or is it like VB6 onwards and I'm screwed? Thanks in advance for the help. squone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralAlkex Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 If your script was compiled without password and uses AutoIt 3.2.5.1 or older then use the decompiler you get with AutoIt, "\AutoIt3\Extras\Exe2Aut\Exe2Aut.exe".If you used a newer version, or had a password, then you wont get any help here.There's a search in the upper right, search for decompilation and you will see what I mean. .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smcombs Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) Cant you download the earlier versions from the website and use the correct compiler?This should have the decompiler you want:Go HERE Edited December 16, 2009 by smcombs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Cant you download the earlier versions from the website and use the correct compiler?This should have the decompiler you want:Go HERENo. If it was compiled with a later version, the earlier one will not be able to decompile it. Re-read the previous replies and note that 3.2.12 > 3.2.5.1. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

Bowmore Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Exe2Aut.exe is no longer available and it is not possible to extract code from AutoIt executables for many years "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots.
