Smart Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi, i've been getting this error on my coworker's computer recently. I took a print of it: '> It happens at the application startup, the application wasn't coded by us, so we can't debug it... It happens only with his computer, could that be some windows problem? He has windows 8.1, i've tested on another windows 8.1 computer and it works fine, i've tested on multiple windows 7's and it works fine, only on his computer apparently does that fail. From the error itself i would assume (although i don't code AutoIt at all.) it was an application problem, but since every other computer works, i started to think it was something more severe... since i google'd autoit has no dependencies, only windows system dll's (that proves i seriously know nothing about it... ) . I thought of system restore, but he has no restore points available... What can we do? How can we know what's really causing it? Could it be some specific windows dll? Can sfc /scannow help?

czardas Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) This appears to be the consequence of a badly written script - or possibly one which was never intended to be used on a different computer. Since we cannot see the contents of the script, and decompilation of the executable is against the AutoIt licence, you are really quite stuck. Unless you have a copy of the original script there is nothing anyone can do apart from rewrite the program from scratch, and doing so may not be worth the effort. What does the program do and how important is it? Edited February 25, 2015 by czardas operator64 ArrayWorkshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadBunny Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It is a very clear AutoIt error, indicating an error by the developer of the script. Given the location of the script file (file called "b" in a folder intended for temporary content) and the weird strings in the code, it looks like autogenerated script code, i.e. AutoIt code generated by some other application (which we know nothing about with this information). The code displayed in the error is intended to remove carriage returns from a string. What is the application you are trying to start up? Roses are FF0000, violets are 0000FF... All my base are belong to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 The application is an checker of some sort (i don't know) that is to be run before it starts another application. But if it was really the application's fault, wouldn't it fail on all computers? I mean, the application wasn't made to be run on my computer, and it runs, it also runs on every other computer i've tested it, with the same or different OS, it just doesn't run on that particular one... and i don't know AutoIt and apparently decompilation is against it's policy as you said. I'm just puzzled as it not working at that specifically un-related computer. As i searched AutoIt has no dependencies other than windows itself, my thought was exactly that, but how can i know for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadBunny Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) But if it was really the application's fault, wouldn't it fail on all computers? Impossible to tell without knowing more about the application in question. If the application indeed auto-generates some AutoIt code and then runs it, which I still assume given what we know now, than apparently it's doing it based on some environmental things which are then, again apparently, different for this machine. Maybe the developer of the application that generates the AutoIt code forgot to encode strings that are pushed into that AutoIt code by escaping doublequotes, for instance.

But i'm almost positive (can't be sure) that the only differenciation it might do is between operating systems, but i've tested this on another one (windows 8.1) and it works... I don't have the script source, nor can i get it i'm afraid, but this is puzzling for me. I understand the error is specific to the script, but i can't understand how, yeah... my "almost positive" might be it, but i'd say it isn't.

kylomas Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 There is something unique to that environment, obviously. For example, maybe the script is designed to pre-process Word files and there are none. Since you are not giving up any info about what the script does, we can only guess.

zalomalo Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) You are trying to access a array component futher the real array range. This happens when the code doesnt test it byself to avoid it. By example: Local $aArray=StringSplit('gg,hh',',') For $i=1 To 3 MsgBox(0,'Test',$aArray[$i]) Next Gives this error, and must be used the index: Local $sString='gg,hh' Local $aArray=StringSplit($sString,',') For $i=1 To $aArray[0] MsgBox(0,'Test',$aArray[$i]) Next In you script, witch is deleting linefeeds (may be readed from a textfile?), the component $x234234xx[$rwererer+1]: $rwererer+1 > bounds of $x234234xx.
