aef03 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I have searched the forums and I understand the cautions about compiling autoit scripts to be 64bit EXEs. My question, before I go to the effort of setting up, is can I compile AutoIt scripts for 32bit when I am running under a 64bit OS? Thanks.

You can run 32-bit compiled scripts on a 64-bit machine as well. github.com/jvanegmond
aef03 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 Yes, you can compile 32-bit AutoIt scripts on a 64-bit machine. You can run 32-bit compiled scripts on a 64-bit machine as well.Thanks!Sorry for the follow up - if I will only be compiling for 32-bit, which version of AutoIT (32 or 64) do I install on my 64 bit machine?Thanks.
guinness Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I would install the x64 Version of AutoIt and then in SciTE4AutoIt3 use this >> #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=N at the top of the Script.

guinness Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Because I personally tend to install all native x64 Versions if available. You can use the x32 Version of AutoIt if you want, its up to you! But just for good practice I would always add #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=N if you want to create a x32 Compiled AutoIt Program.

guinness Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I don't actually know, but if you install the x32 on a x64 system you might not need #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=N as it might be checking the Version installed and not the system (have no way of testing) But like I said best practice to use #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=N anyway. Also I very rarely use x64 Compiled AutoIt EXE's especially when using ListViews and the dreaded WM_NOTIFY problem!

AdmiralAlkex Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 When you install AutoIt you will be asked if you want to use x64 tools where available, choose yes and you will run x64 by default and will use #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n to run x86, choose no and use #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y to run x64.If you know in advance that you are going to use x86 more often, then answer no and you wont have to use the statement so often.But if you write code that only works on x64/x86 and share it with others, please use the statement anyway or you will confuse people.And don't forget to install SciTE4AutoIt3 .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
JakeJohnson74 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) I have no interest in writing scripts compatible with 32 bit systems. All of our workstations here are 64 bit systems and I would like to write scripts to conform to that. Many of the scripts I copy/paste from here do not work out of the gate and I didn't know why.... I got no errors - they just wouldn't function. For example - this is a drag and drop script for a listbox that would not work for me. After reading this post, I added "#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=N" to the top of it and ran it and it worked as expected. expandcollapse popup#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_Compile_Both=y #EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #include <Constants.au3> #include <GUIListBox.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Global $gnDRAGLISTMSGSTRING = _WinAPI_RegisterWindowMessage("commctrl_DragListMsg") Global $DL_BEGINDRAG = $WM_USER + 133 Global $DL_DRAGGING = $WM_USER + 134 Global $DL_DROPPED = $WM_USER + 135 Global $DL_CANCELDRAG = $WM_USER + 136 Global Enum $DL_STOPCURSOR = 1, $DL_COPYCURSOR, $DL_MOVECURSOR Global $gtDRAGLISTINFO = "long uNotification;long hWnd;long x;long y" Global $gfItemAdded = False Global $hMain = GUICreate("DragList", 200, 400) Global $cListbox = GUICtrlCreateList("", 16, 16, 168, 368, $WS_BORDER + $WS_VSCROLL) GUICtrlSetFont($cListbox, 10, Default, Default, "Tahoma") Global $hListbox = GUICtrlGetHandle($cListbox) GUICtrlSetData($cListbox, "Apples|Oranges|Bananas|Pears|Grapefruits|Limes|Lemons|Strawberries|Plums|Melons|Grapes|") GUISetState() _ComCtl32_MakeDragList($hListbox) Global $wProcNew = DllCallbackRegister("_MyWndProc", "int", "hwnd;int;wparam;lparam") Global $wProcOld = _WinAPI_SetWindowLong($hMain, $GWL_WNDPROC, DllCallbackGetPtr($wProcNew)) ;While GUIGetMsg() <> -3 ; Sleep(10) ;Wend While 1 $idMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $idMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit case $idMsg <> -3 Sleep(10) EndSwitch WEnd Exit Func _MyWndProc($hWnd, $nMsg, $wParam, $lParam) Local $aRet, $nOldIndex, $sItemText If $nMsg = $gnDRAGLISTMSGSTRING Then Local $tDRAGLISTINFO = DllStructCreate($gtDRAGLISTINFO, $lParam) Local $uNotification = DllStructGetData($tDRAGLISTINFO, "uNotification") Local $x = DllStructGetData($tDRAGLISTINFO, "x"), $y = DllStructGetData($tDRAGLISTINFO, "y") Local $nItem = _ComCtl32_LBItemFromPt($hListbox, $x, $y) Switch $uNotification Case $DL_BEGINDRAG If $nItem < (_GUICtrlListBox_GetCount($hListbox) - 1) Then _GUICtrlListBox_AddString($hListbox, "") $gfItemAdded = True EndIf Return 1 Case $DL_DRAGGING _ComCtl32_DrawInsert($hMain, $hListbox, $nItem) If $nItem = _GUICtrlListBox_GetCurSel($hListbox) Then Return $DL_STOPCURSOR Return $DL_MOVECURSOR Case $DL_DROPPED If $nItem > -1 Then $nOldIndex = _GUICtrlListBox_GetCurSel($hListbox) If $nItem <> $nOldIndex Then $sItemText = _GUICtrlListBox_GetText($hListbox, $nOldIndex) If $nItem < $nOldIndex Then $nOldIndex += 1 _GUICtrlListBox_InsertString($hListbox, $sItemText, $nItem) _GUICtrlListBox_DeleteString($hListbox, $nOldIndex) If $nItem > $nOldIndex Then $nItem -= 1 _GUICtrlListBox_SetCurSel($hListbox, $nItem) EndIf EndIf If $gfItemAdded Then _GUICtrlListBox_DeleteString($hListbox, _GUICtrlListBox_GetCount($hListbox) - 1) $gfItemAdded = False EndIF _ComCtl32_DrawInsert($hMain, $hListbox, -1) Return 0 Case $DL_CANCELDRAG If $gfItemAdded Then _GUICtrlListBox_DeleteString($hListbox, _GUICtrlListBox_GetCount($hListbox) - 1) $gfItemAdded = False EndIF _ComCtl32_DrawInsert($hMain, $hListbox, -1) Return 0 EndSwitch EndIf Return _WinAPI_CallWindowProc($wProcOld, $hWnd, $nMsg, $wParam, $lParam) EndFunc Func _ComCtl32_MakeDragList($hWnd) Local $aRet = DllCall("comctl32.dll", "int", "MakeDragList", "hwnd", $hWnd) If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, 0) Return $aRet[0] EndFunc Func _ComCtl32_LBItemFromPt($hWnd, $x, $y) Local $aRet = DllCall("comctl32.dll", "long", "LBItemFromPt", "hwnd", $hWnd, "long", $x, "long", $y, "long", 1) If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, 0) Return $aRet[0] EndFunc Func _ComCtl32_DrawInsert($hWndParent, $hWnd, $nItem) DllCall("comctl32.dll", "none", "DrawInsert", "hwnd", $hWndParent, "hwnd", $hWnd, "long", $nItem) If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, 0) Return EndFunc The question I have now is in the three functions at the bottom referencing the comctl32.dll - I can only assume that it is pulling from wow64 for that DLLCall - which for this script, is wrong. It needs comctl32.dll from system32. How would I develop this same script for native 64 bit support? So when it goes to the comctl32.dll in wow64 it will work correctly.

BrewManNH Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 32 bit programs will run on 64 bit operating systems. Probably 90% of the programs that run on a 64 bit Windows are actually 32 bit versions. You'll find FAR more programs listed in the C:Program Files (x86) folder than you will in the C:Program Files folder.

JakeJohnson74 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 While I understand this - I am still tasked with writing native 64 bit scripts. Would your advice be to write 32 bit scripts and just use #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=N to force it to use 32bit?
BrewManNH Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Unless you absolutely need to compile it for x64, then compile it as a 32 bit program. The only thing you'd need to worry about, as you mentioned above, is making sure the right DLLs are being used when you run the script. Folder redirection would come into play at that point.
