is something wrong with my autoit?

[noodle9023]

So, i installed the setup file and set everything up fine, but the autoit 3 folder is nowhere to be found anywhere. i tried running a script and all i get is a popup tht says "could not register the f9 hotkey" i'm new to this so tell me if i missed anything. i also istalled SciTE to see if it would change anything but it didnt. the folder isnt on my pc and i cant run scripts. im starting to get mad at this, so did i miss anything or is it a bug or something?

Your AutoIt3 folder should be located under C:\Programs.

If not, then it's possible your anti-virus program removed it, or some other thing happened.

Be patient. Eventually, you'll figure it out.

I would proceed as follows :
Uninstall both AutoIt and the full version of the SciTE Editor for AutoIt (if you have it installed).

Do a fresh installation:
1. install the latest 'stable' version of AutoIt : autoit-v3-setup.exe

2. install the full version of the SciTE Editor for AutoIt : SciTE4AutoIt3.exe

Check, if you can now Compile or Run a simple script inside the SciTE-Editor.

This is likely coming from your script, but that's only a guess since you didn't show us any code.

@Danp2 is of course right ! Without the source code, one can only make assumptions.

I just wanted to make sure, that @noodle9023 is using the correct installers from the AutoItScript website.

@noodle9023 : Please try the following script :

HotKeySet("{F9}", "Terminate")
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Terminate()
    MsgBox(0, "Skript terminated : ", "Path of the interpreter running the file : " & @CRLF & @AutoItExe)
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

Is it working ?
