[Solved] Error opening the file when compiling script by command line

[DrAhmed]

 Hi all

I am trying to make a compiler for au3 scripts in vb.net , I am using  this command line in the vb.net code

"Aut2exe.exe /in EW.au3"

The error I get : 

EW.au3 is the script name and Aut2exe.exe  is in the same floder with the script .

After reading this, I think that this is the only way to do it : (the command line method)

https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/compiler.htm

Note that compiling the script manually ( right click  --> compile ) works fine .

I already tried to (didn't help)

- Replacing < > by " "

- Turning my AV off

- Giving Aut2exe.exe / vb.net compiler admin rights

- Replace Aut2exe.exe  with its full path from original Aut3 floder.

 

I don't know what I am doing wrong ?

Try to put your script in the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include" and run Aut2exe.exe with Admin rights.

Well that's wierd I tried what you said and  got this , I got no compiled exe file

 the command line I used is :

"Aut2exe.exe /in <C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\EW.au3> /out <C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\EW.exe>"

Try: 

"Aut2exe.exe /in " + "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\EW.au3" + " /out " + "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\EW.exe"

OR:

'"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Aut2exe\Aut2exe.exe" /in "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\EW.au3" /out "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\EW.exe"'

Wow thanks man  it works like charm now
But what do you suggest to do this without admin rights with no Autoit installed on the computer ? is it even possible ?

Copy all file on  "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include" to your script folder!

I like the sledge hammer approach in this thread but maybe not the most cleaver one.
