swissroach Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Dear AutoIT volunteers and users I'm new to AutoIT and I just want to give it a try as alternative method for some manual installations and other things (automating things which can't be automated with GPO's, Registry-entries and and and). Now I've got a problem which i believe I'm not the only one with it... but i didn't found a matching thread with searching in these forums or with google (maybe if i spent some more hours.... reading trough all the search results)... I can't use any shortcuts in SciTE. Now I believe the problem is within the $(SciteDefaultHome) variable. I've found these entries in the properties files: # 07 AU3Record program #~ command.7.$(au3)="$(SciteDefaultHome)\ScriptWriter\AU3record.exe" /o command.7.$(au3)="$(SciteDefaultHome)\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.exe" /AU3Record When i run the commands in the command line console, it runs without any problems but when i hit the keyboard-combination for it inside SciTE, it doesn't do anything, it seems to don't even try to open something. I've got a Win7 Enterprise with newest updates, x64 version, normally working without admin rights but starting the SciTE with admin login prompt (but doesn't run without admin rights (-> as a normal user) either). Can anyone maybe give me an advice on where to search for the problem? Is there a way to define the scitedefaulthome variable or do i have to start SciTE with a special parameter? If there is a thread with the same problem and a solution: I'm really sorry to post this again, I'm going to get myself new glasses... Best regards and thanks to everyone involved for their work on AutoIT and its components! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Most of the tools need you to have a file saved as a *.au3 file before you can activate them, even if the file is empty as long as it's been saved the tools show up in the Tools menu. swissroach 1 If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

swissroach Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Omg... I'm sure I tried this before with a saved document... anyway now it works, thanks! Maybe there was a reboot needed before this works... can't explain this behaviour in another way. Nevermind... just wrote this if someone else have this problem and there's really a reboot needed.
