Error with AutoIt 1-2-3

[daveydoom]

Hello all.   I downloaded and installed AutoIt 1-2-3 along with SciTE - Editor.   When running AutoIt 1-2-3, Step Number 2 , I get the error below:

 

I downloaded both programs twice in case there was some corruption the first time but it didn't help.

Thoughts?  

 

Regards, Dave

Hi, daveydoom, welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, the last update to this venerable tutorial was in 2009, and AutoIt has changed a lot since then. If you are looking for examples and tutorials, I think the Wiki is your best bet.

Sounds good JLogan3o13, thank you  .   I've already downloaded a pdf tutorial and will work from that.

I appreciate your reply.

Lesson #1 was not meant to "run"

; used for:
 
; - Scripting your programs.
; - Syntax Checking for errors.
; - Tidy (clean-up) your programs.
; - Create executable programs.
; - and Much, Much More!
 
 
; Notice the semi-colon ";" on the left for comments.
For ; no semi-colon is used for commands. ; Notice the "for" is highlighted and known as a command. 
 
 
; other commands include,
If, And, Or, Then, Next, While, Wend. ; there are more commands to learn later.
 
 
; there is no, "Go-to", in AutoIt, you can use.
Call. ; to call a Function, Functions will be taught later. 
 
; Another way to comment is to use, "#cs" for comments start and, "#ce" for comments end.
 
#cs
here are my comments.
you can have as many comment lines as you would like.
#ce
 

Notice the first command is "EXIT"

Au3Check is run by default, and barks at invalid pseudo-statements below Exit.
