Gerard Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Wrote my first script and ran it on my desktop (Win 10/32bit) #include MsgBoxConstants.au3 MsgBox($MB_OK,"My first program", "Hello World") It errored >"C:\Users\Linda F Newman\Desktop\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:\Users\Linda F Newman\Documents\AUTOIT\UtilityScripts\ListMacros.au3" 'C:\Users\Linda' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. >Exit code: 1 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Copied script to my laptop (Win10/64) running the X86 version of AutoIt3.exe) and it worked perfectly. Is there a config I am missing? The executables are in c:\Program Files\AutoIt3 folder on both machines and the "Hello World" scripts are in the UtilityScripts folder in "Documents\AUTOIT\UtilityScripts" on both machines.

jpm Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Certainly bad installation. Under 64-bit OS the installation go to c:\Program Files (86)\AutoIt3 as opposed to c:\Program Files\AutoIt3 Under 32-bit OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Thanks JPM Didn't follow your well received advice. The script that is working is on the 64 bit opsys (although I am running the 32 bit version of AutoIt). The fail is on the 32 bit desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Sorry Water. I followed your advice and ran (#include MsgBoxConstants.au3) MsgBox($MB_OK,"My first program", "Hello World") No difference. Same error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 You are correct Jos but I downloaded the ZIP from the AutoIt site. Is there a difference in the end result. I assume I should uninstall and restart the whole process??? No problem if I need to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted August 25, 2016 Developers Share Posted August 25, 2016 You can use it in portable mode as well as lang as you leave the directory structure in tack, but yes.. there are differences. Is the autoit3.exe located in: "C:\Users\Linda F Newman\autoit3.exe" ?

Gerard Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Jos Its in C:\Program Files\AutoIt3. I do not know why it picked up the User information and prepended it to the folder location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 BrewManNH Is this what you had in mind. #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> MsgBox($MB_OK,"My first program", "Hello World") Sadly it also failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted August 25, 2016 Developers Share Posted August 25, 2016 You didn't move the SciTE directory either? What is the environment setting for variables like SCITE* ?

Gerard Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Jos, thanks for your continued help. The SciTE directory is at the same level and location as AutoIt3.exe. Since I am having difficulty with my very first script you wont be shocked to learn that I do not know anything about "environment settings" and the like.

Developers Jos Posted August 25, 2016 Developers Share Posted August 25, 2016 Open the dos prompt (CMD Window). Type at the prompt (c:>): SET scite (Enter) Cut&Paste the retuned value if any.

Developers Jos Posted August 25, 2016 Developers Share Posted August 25, 2016 Ok, there is no environment variable defined. Currently no idea why it thinks that the autoit3 program is located in the user directory. My recommendation would be to use the installer for both AutoIt3 and the SciTE4Autoit3 to ensure all setting for Registry and Environment are set correctly.
