AutoIt Loader

[MrCreatoR]

 

AutoIt Loader is basically an AutoIt environment loader that allows you to fully use AutoIt as a portable development environment.
The idea is to load all the necessary AutoIt resources into the system while you work with it  (there is an option to add it to autorun), allowing you to use AutoIt as if it was installed in the system, without conflict with another installed AutoIt version. It is a good solution if you want to use AutoIt on different computers that not allow you to install programs.
The main ability is to change AutoIt version in a few clicks, and after changing the version, the whole environment adjusts to work with this version.
It is also possible to “download” (update) new versions to the development environment, either from an official source or from another source on your PC.
After unloading (exit from loader from system tray), all resources and registry entries are cleared completely, leaving no traces.
The loader includes 4 of the most popular and critical versions of AutoIt, which were published by the largest number of changes.

Also, the loader has a module called AutoIt Tools (see screenshots), which has a number of tools and utilities that are necessary for development in my opinion.
AutoIt Tools loaded with the loader (can be disabled), and appears when the mouse cursor is in the lower left corner of the screen.
The menu of this module is dynamic, and it can be very easily changed using built-in editor, which is called from the context menu of the module (RMB).

As a base code editor was used SciTE assembly by Yashied, in my opinion the most functional and portable of those that I have seen.
