kylomas Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Hi, I installed the 3.3.7.23 version of AutoIT. I ran the "Toggle Au3 Beta" and the msgbox indicated a switch. When I run msgbox(0,'',@autoitversion) from SCITE it shows 3.3.6.1. Do I need to change something else to activate Beta? Also, do I need to copy new Sqlite mod and .au3 files? Thanks, kylomas Edit: spelling Edit2: additional info - when I "ToggleAu3 Beta" and invoke a script outside of SCITE, I get SQLite.dll not found. When I run the script under SCITE, it runs fine.

BrewManNH Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 When you run a script from SciTE and you want to use the Beta you need to use ALT-F5 instead of F5 to run it.

kylomas Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) BrewmanNH, Thanks for the prompt reply. I finally figured that much out. I have something setup wrong, however. I am running one of my scripts from a desktop shortcut pointing to the script source. That script uses slqite and issues the error "sqlite.dll not found". I tried copying "sqlite.dll.au3" to the beta folder (overlaying the one that was there) to no avail.

BrewManNH Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 You have to extract the dll from that file before you can use it, to do that you need to use #include <sqlite.dll.au3> at the top of the script, it should extract the dll to the script folder. You can also download the latest version of the dll from sqlite's home page. The Beta doesn't include the actual dll any longer in the file, so you have to make sure that the file exists because there's no call in the _SQLite_Startup function to extract it now. 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.

kylomas Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) BremanNH, Is this a change? I did NOT see that in the script breaking doc... kylomas edit: additional info I have includes for sqlite.dll and slqite.dll.au3...I did NOT get a new copy of sqlite.dll from sqlite.org. Could that be what's wrong? Edited December 19, 2011 by kylomas Forum Rules Procedure for posting code "I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us.

BrewManNH Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I saw a mention of it in the chat forum about the latest beta it wasn't mentioned as a script breaking change, but it might be in the future.

Vishal85 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I figured the issue i was having with using BETA. I observed that i had 2 instances of AutoIt and SciTE installed....One in program files and other on my Desktop....i didnt realize i was using the desktop version of SciTE.....I have BETA installed only in program files.....I switched to use SciTE which is installed in Program Files and Alt + F5 worked... I can see below output after pressing Alt + F5 >"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.exe" /run /beta /ErrorStdOut /in "C:Documents and Settingsp2zoDesktopLHUSTestScriptLHUSPRPCFinalActionScript.au3" /autoit3dir "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Beta\" /UserParams +>14:49:59 Starting AutoIt3Wrapper v.2.0.1.24 Environment(Language:0409 Keyboard:00000409 OS:WIN_XP/Service Pack 3 CPU:X64 OS:X86) >Running AU3Check (1.54.22.0) from:C:Program FilesAutoIt3Beta +>14:50:00 AU3Check ended.rc:0 >Running:(3.3.7.23):C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Beta\autoit3.exe "C:Documents and Settingsp2zoDesktopLHUSTestScriptLHUSPRPCFinalActionScript.au3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vishal85 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Other question i have is....how do i compile a script manually using beta version? Right now i just right click the .au3 file and complie it to form a exe file to run. If i have to do the same thing but use beta instead how do i complie it manually. Sometimes i need to use exe file to run the script instead of running it from SciTE.@Jos - Sorry for hte other thread....I wont duplicate questions in multiple threads.....Additionally i do search for answer to my issue in existing threads...if i dont find anything i post a new one...

I also had a look au3.properties files when you mentioned about it and got to know all the different settings....thanks for informing about it....Alternately I figured we can do a RIGHT CLICK to au3 file then we can select COMPILE WITH OPTIONS and then in the options window we can select AutoIt version as BETA to compile the script to exe.
