[Solved] AutoIt help crash

[hcI]

Hello !

I've been using the AutoIt help file for a while and since 2 hours, when I press F1 into the AutoIt editor, the help file open and.. crash. It happen every time.

But ! The the source file is not the problem because when i execute the chm file from AutoIt install directory it works ! I didn't made anything that would cause the error to the help file, I was just writing some code.

I tried to

- Reinstall AutoIt3 AND Scite4AutoIt3

- Search for some help on Google but.. I'm here because I didn't found anything interesting

- Replace the .chm file with the one of another computer who it works on.

 

I don't have any ideas of how to fix this..

Does someone know this problem and maybe know how to fix it ?

Problem solved for unknown reason, by doing nothing :O

@hcI Just to clarify, which version of AutoIt are you running?

[hcI]

@JLogan3o13

AutoIt is 3.3.14.2

SciTE is 3.7.3

What happens when you run AutoIt3Help.exe from the AutoIt3 program directory?
What exactly does crash mean in your case?

@Jos

AutoIt3Help.exe crash when I launch It

When I mean "crash" I mean when it open, I have Windows instant telling me that " AutoIt3Help.exe stopped working" and I can only close the application or search for online help.

Do you have any AV product that could be seeing this file as a false positive and interfering? Anyway to deactivate it for this file to test?

@Jos

I've just checked and I don't have anything of this kind, the help was working there is 3 hours ago and I didn't installed anything during this time..

[hcI]

Also, If i replace this .exe with your, should we try to see if it resolve the problem ?

Hi,

the help files are at a local drive or a network or removable drive?

Hi @Simpel

The files are in the local drive,

the path to the install directory is :

C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3

 

[Simpel]

Maybe it's a stupid question but you already did restart your computer?

Conrad

[hcI]

Yup and it don't seems to change anything

[Jos]

Lets indeed try the latest version of AutoIt3Help  as you are running an older version that did have some issue.
