Why my script does not work on win2k?

neazoi · May 26, 2015

Hello, I have written a script in the last version of autoit and compiled it with it. The executable runs on winXP and newer but not on win2k.

To make it run on win2k, I compiled the script with the autoit-v3.3.8.1 (the last version that runs on win2k).

Now the executable runs on win2k, but it cannot encode files correctly, as intended.

Below, is my script code. I have used an external program 7z for compression, because win2k does not have internal compression mechanism. The 7z works ok in win2k.

The script runs and starts to encode a file to text data, but it does not finish the whole encoding. In the text area only a few 10s of letters are printed, no matter what file I choose to encode the number of letters printed is the same. I believe it is a textarea print max limit incompatibility, eventhough I have used:

Local $idEditText = GUICtrlCreateEdit('', 5, 5, 560, 280)
_GUICtrlEdit_SetLimitText($idEditText, 6400000)

Any ideas of why this does not work would be appreciated.

AutoIt 3.3.12.0 only supports: Windows XP / Server 2003 / Vista / Server 2008 / 7 / 8
According to the changelog support for Windows 2000 was dropped in version 3.3.10.0

You do not do any error checking after calling the encrypt/decrypt functions. Check the help file for how this functions tell you that something went wrong ...

Does It mean that I cannot get any support on this thread for this issue? I know this is an old one, but some people still run on win2k and there are some reasons for that.

I do not call the encrypt/decrypt functions when I try this. Initially, I try to run it without the option to encrypting anything, so these functions are not used.

No, it simply means you need to test and compile your script with AutoIt version 3.3.8.1 when you intend to execute it on W2K.
First step you need to do is to check where in the script the "error" happens. When we know which function does not return the desired result we can help you to find the cause.

N.B. As you use 7ZIP to compress the files, why don't you use the encryption features of 7ZIP in addition. So you could drop the slower AutoIt implementations.

Ok, if I understand well, I shall also develop the script using that version in a win2k machine and see what causes the error.

The 7zip encryption is something I have not thought.

I'll get back to you

You can develop the script on any platform whery you have AutoIt 3.3.8.1 installted.
But testing should be done on a W2K machine.

Why my script does not work on win2k?
