Problem with default program

[ScottB]

Hello

We have a web site that creates .au3 files for our users to download and then run by double clicking on them.  Somehow the default program association has become broken on a large number of our computers and now when our staff double click the link they get various problems.  I'm trying to troubleshoot this and I think it is a problem with the default program association for .au3 having been changed.  I can't figure out how to set it correctly.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling AutoIt but it seems to retain the association.  I've tried deleting the registry keys that set the registration and then reinstalling when I look at default programs .au3 is associated with Unknown program.  When I double click the .au3 file I get prompted to select the program I want to open it with.  I'm not able to locate a autoit.exe program anywhere on the computer.  Can anyone help me figure out what I need to associate the .au3 file with to get it to open correctly?

Thanks,

 

Scott

If AutoIt is not on the computer then that is more likely to be your problem.

Assuming that the file association existed, i would find out how it got changed.

My prediction is that firewall or some other security software is removing AutoIt3.exe

I just examined our A/V and it looks like it is removing AutoIt3.exe AutoIt3_x64.exe and Aut2exe.exe

Thanks,
