Zedna Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) I have got new Windows7 64bit system at work and in my full Scite editor doesn't work F1 (Help). Nothing happens after pressing F1 or invoking F1 Help directly from Scite menu. I Installed Autoit 3.2.12.1 release then full Scite4Autoit3 then beta 3.3.7.X (reinstalled several beta versions with uninstal previous beta option ON). Note that Alt+F1 (Help for Beta) work OK. How can I fix this? EDIT: Solution is in post #26 Edited July 18, 2011 by Zedna Resources UDF ResourcesEx UDF AutoIt Forum Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedna Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) Just save the (untitled,new) file and try again That's not my case.My problem is also when I open existing (not new) AU3 file from explorer (doubleclick on AU3 opens it into Scite). F1 still doesn't work. Edited July 14, 2011 by Zedna Resources UDF ResourcesEx UDF AutoIt Forum Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrewManNH Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Try right clicking the Scite executable and go to properties. Select the compatibility tab and click Run As Administrator. Every time you open Scite after that you'll need to accept the UAC prompt, but it will probably fix the issue. If AutoIt3 is installed in the default location (Program Files) then Win7 will block a lot of attempts at saving/opening files from that program. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Such prompts at every other thing are absolutely stupid. In Windows XP there is no such UAC shit and no one complains about missing "security".I use account with administrators privileges so I tried this option (Run Scite.exe as Administrator) and no prompt was at running.

Zedna Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) Zedna,You say you installed Autoit 3.2.12.1 ?Does that contain program: AutoIt3Help.exe ?JosI use Autoit 3.2.12.1 because many of my scripts (all) are compatible with this version.The same configuration (3.2.12.1 as release and 3.3.7.14 as latest beta) works fine on my Windows XP.Now I checked that AutoIt3Help.exe is on my Windows7 too.I can remember that many years ago there was some similar problem with F1 key in Scite: while script was running from Scite (ran by F5) then F1 didn't work until script finished. But now F1 doesn't work even if no script is running. Edited July 14, 2011 by Zedna Resources UDF ResourcesEx UDF AutoIt Forum Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEOSoft Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) actually I just had the same problem a couple of days ago and I'm not sure why yet. I did manage to fix it even though I'm not sure why it happened to begin with. Go to the AutoIt3\Scite\Properties\au3.properties file and look at line 7. Make sure that path is correct. I had it change on me a couple of times when I was only using 1 install of Scite on 3 operating systems. I've now changed this but I went to use F1 on the day in question and ooooops. Looked at the file and instead of program files it had program files (x64) (or (x86) I forget now) and there is no such folder on any of my OSs because I only run x86 OSs I was actually going to PM Jos about that so you may have just saved him all that aggrevation but took some fun out of my life doing it. EDIT: BTW, I've now made that file read-only so I don't get changes that I don't know about. Edited July 15, 2011 by GEOSoft George Question about decompiling code?

I noticed some similar problems with another application which couldn't find some DLL and it was there.I can see VirtualStore Autoit3 directory here:"C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\" There is Scite subdirectory and inside it are these files:Koda\fd.xmlObfuscator\Obfuscator.logMaybe Scite is searching AutoitHelp.exe in this VirtualStore directory on F1? But Alt+F1 works fine!I'm confused.I will try to install latest beta version of Scite4Autoit3 and its components.

GEOSoft Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 If Alt+F1 is working then I would suspect that it's a bit more of a basic problem. You might want to uninstall/reinstall the release version of AutoIt. In fact I would do both the release and the beta versions then install Scite4AutoIt3 just as if you were doing a first time setup.
