Clean install not working [Solved magically]

[Cotino 1]

Hi,

I often switch between 2 PC to code.

I recently installed VC redist 2015 on one PC, and autoit now won't work at all.

It might not be related, but it happened at the same time.

Everytime i try to compile my code, i get this :

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\File.au3" (57) : ==> Variable used without being declared.:
Local $hFileOpen = FileOpen($sFilePath, BitOR($FO_OVERWRITE, $FO_CREATEPATH))
Local $hFileOpen = FileOpen($sFilePath, BitOR(^ ERROR

 

So i completely uninstalled Autoit, reinstalled it clean, same error.

It works fine with the other PC that doesn't have VC redist 2015.

I did try to uninstall redist, still doesn't work.

Any idea how to solve this ?

Have you added to the top of your script: 

#include <FileConstants.au3>

Or in File.au3 does it have the following at the top of the script:

#include "FileConstants.au3"

The FileConstants.au3 should declare the variable $FO_OVERWRITE

Yes, "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\File.au3"  does have #include "FileConstants.au3"

Edit : Also, FileConstants.au3 declares Global Const $FO_OVERWRITE = 2

Have you checked $FO_OVERWRITE is declared in FileConstants.au3

[Cotino 1]

Yes, it's declared.

I believe the problem isn't AutoIt, but whatever it is dependent on.

Do you have multiple copies of  file.au3 or  FileConstants.au3 ?
Did you install AutoIt3 with the standard installer?

Only one copy of the files.

I installed autoit as well as scite4autoit through the official website,
here : https://www.autoitscript.com/cgi-bin/getfile.pl?autoit3/autoit-v3-setup.exe
and here : https://www.autoitscript.com/cgi-bin/getfile.pl?../autoit3/scite/download/SciTE4AutoIt3.exe
respectively.

In case that's relevant, i'm on Windows 10 latest update.

Can you show the full output from the SciTE output pane when having done the Compile operation?

Extremely weird, but ... Now it compiles.

Haven't touched the PC, not even once, since i copied the error.

I didn't have anything unusual running in the background, chrome and skype basically.

I tried to compile several times over the course of an hour, so that wasn't a one time thing.

 

I guess this is solved ? I'm still curious on how and why it happened.

Something with an X86/X64 setup on this PC?

Nothing special that i know of.
