MattHiggs Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Ok. So this has occurred on two machines that I have installed the newest version of autoit and scite for autoit on, and this occurs right after the installation. My process: I uninstall the beta version of autoit, download the most up-to-date production version of autoit, run the installer, uninstall the previous production version of autoit from the installer, proceed to install the latest production version of autoit. Then, I use the AutoITupdate script in Autoit's "extras" folder to download and re-install the beta. I then download the latest version of scite for Autoit and install it (I have done this both with and without uninstalling it). The result? One of these installers is completely wiping out all of the values in the PSModulepath environment variable. How do I know? Take a look at the only two remaining values that are configured for the environment variable: All I can say is thank god I had backups of my environment variables and I was able to restore them. I don't know which autoit product is doing this, but please fix it. This is what greets those who open powershell after installing the faulty autoit product: For those who are not familiar with PSModulepath, this is what it should look like (restored from backup): Edited February 13, 2018 by Melba23 Amended title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattHiggs Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Wow. I gotta say, I thought there would be more.....concern.....or contrition.......shown for the damage that the AutoIT installations are doing to computers that they are run on. Kind of jarring to see absolutely nothing. Just....WOW...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 10, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 10, 2018 MattHiggs, "Kind of jarring" to see such an attitude from you too. You are the only person who has reported this and by no means the only person who uses both AutoIt and PowerShell, so it might well be something in your system rather then AutoIt itself. Jon has been informed and is no doubt looking into it. We do not intend giving you a blow by blow account of what is happening behind the scenes, so you will just have to be patient.

Developers Jos Posted February 10, 2018 Developers Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) I did a quick check of the nsis code and actually don't see anything wrong yet. I would expect the previous production path to be removed when you select the uninstall first option, but believe any other setting should stay. Did anybody go through the scenario of testing this step by step to see whether I tried can be replicated? I have no time to test at the moment.

Earthshine Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Sounds like something CCleaner would do to me. Wiping out valid stuff I would not be surprised if he ran something like it after I will also test it Monday and verify Edited February 10, 2018 by Earthshine antonioj84 1 My resources are limited.

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 13, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 13, 2018 Earthshine, Did you manage to test yesterday? No problems if not, but another POV would be useful.
