Eggsplorer Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Hi, I'd like to run an autoit script which then compiles the following code as exe to the startup folder: RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -File C:\UA\Scripts\win-updates.ps1 -MaxUpdatesPerCycle 100 -RestartRequired 1", "") Func SelfDelete() [...] EndFunc ;==>SelfDelete SelfDelete() Is this possible? I just found how to compile the current script to a certain folder but I only want those lines above executed upon startup. I could just compile it and copy it into the startup folder but it would be an additional step. Thanks in advance.

badcoder123 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 You could make the script create a file to... "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" and for the SelfDelete do you want to to stop the script until next computer restart (1) or remove the script from the directory? (2) ;Example 1 HotKeySet("{F1}", "SelfDelete") While 1 ;Makes it so script never closes Sleep(100) WEnd Func SelfDelete() Exit EndFunc or ;Example 1 HotKeySet("{F1}", "SelfDelete") While 1 ;Makes it so script never closes Sleep(100) WEnd Func SelfDelete() FileDelete("C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\name.exe") ;replace name with file name Exit EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I already have the SelfDelete function. I just wanted to cut a corner since it wasn't topic of my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted October 24, 2017 Developers Share Posted October 24, 2017 Why do you need a script to compile the exe at all? Can't you simply distribute a compiled script?

If you're not pre-compiling it and you're try to distribute it on someone elses computer who doesn't have autoit installed it will not be possible.. However you could make it write a batch file do the startup directory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
