user's autoit directory


Recommended Posts

Just use the Applications path in the registry

$value = RegRead('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\AutoIt3.exe', '')
$value = StringLeft($value, StringInStr($value, '\', 0, -1)-1)
MsgBox(0, '', $value)

This will work if AutoIt was installed and not from a zip file.

Oh, Ok. I do not use the beta installer. I use the beta zip. So was unaware of this scenerio.

Just adding StringReplace should cover for this difference of version.

$value = RegRead('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\AutoIt3.exe', '')
$value = StringLeft($value, StringInStr($value, '\', 0, -1)-1)
$value = StringReplace($value, '\beta', '')
MsgBox(0, '', $value)

but the user could be using some other version of autoit, so that would be specific to me and other beta users

The above gives you the directory to AutoIt3.exe. If you are enquiring about someone like me, who uses both release and beta? Then use If FileExists for the presence of the Beta directory within the AutoIt directory. For other concepts, then specify more.

nvm i figured out a way...

$value = RegRead('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\AutoIt3.exe', '')
$value = StringLeft($value, StringInStr($value, '\', 0, -1)-1)
$beta = StringInStr ( $value, "\beta" )
If $beta <> 0 Then
    $value = StringReplace($value, '\beta', '')
EndIf
MsgBox ( 0, "", $value )

thanks!

If you want to know if someone has the beta in a subdirectory of the AutoIt directory, then you could use this.

$value = RegRead('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\AutoIt3.exe', '')
$value = StringLeft($value, StringInStr($value, '\', 0, -1)-1)
$value = StringReplace($value, '\beta', '')
If Not @extended Then
    If FileExists($value & '\beta') Then $value = $value & '\beta'
EndIf
MsgBox(0, '', $value)

I do not have "BetaInstallDir", as to usage of beta zip. Nice try.

Guys, never heard of @AutoItExe ??

@AutoItExe - The full path and filename of the AutoIt executable currently running. For compiled scripts it is the path of the compiled script.

Doesn't matter if beta version, installed or from ZIP file. Use String* functions to get the path only...

EDIT: Or even better. Use _PathSplit()

Cheers

Then there are no guarantees that even the presence of a "beta" directory will actually contain a valid beta version of AutoIt or that should a "valid" beta be found it may not be the newest (Meaning a newer version could be elsewhere). I also don't understand how you expect the AutoIt AppPath entry to be present unless the installer sets it, so we're back to being able to detect only valid (installer) installations, anyway, ergo, checking the two values I mention above is an easier solution than reading the AppPath key and doing splitting and all that stuff.
