Different @osversion macro results depending on execution level

[mojomatt]

I'm running AutoIT version 3.3.12

When I compile the below scripts and run them on a Windows 2012R2 server I get differing results depending on if it's compiled using "Default" executionlevel or "asInvoker"

 

The below compiled script correctly outputs "WIN_2012R2" (using "Default" executionlevel)...

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion=4.3.2.1
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

MsgBox(48,"",@osversion)
Exit

 

The below compiled script incorrectly outputs "WIN_2012" (using "asInvoker" executionlevel)...

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion=4.3.2.1
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_requestedExecutionLevel=asInvoker
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

MsgBox(48,"",@osversion)
Exit

 

Is this expected behavior or is this a bug?

 

Thanks

 After AutoIt3Wrapper modified manifest:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_requestedExecutionLevel=asInvoker

I do not know the difference, I do not have Win_2012R2 to test!

You are likely not running the latest version of autoit3wrapper?

I just updated to 3.3.14.2 and see the same behavior.  

 

Here's the console output of the compilation...

I wasn't talking about AutoIt3, but about SciTE4AutoIt3 which contains autoit3wrapper!

Gotcha, yes that did the trick.  @OSVersion now correctly shows WIN_2012R2.

I should follow my own advice - When in doubt - always update to the latest version 

Thanks Jos
