After uninstalling AutoIt, .exe files crash right after being opened.

After I uninstalled AutoIt yesterday, my .exe files have not been working. Right after launching a .exe file, it crashes almost immediately. There are no errors given to me when a file crashes, so I'm not to sure what to do.

Usually .exe files compiled with AutoIt do not require an existing AutoIt installation. Therefore you can e.g. pass them on to others on whose PC no AutoIt exists (as long as no antivirus software is nagging ). As ultima ratio just reinstall AutoIt and see what happens.

Have you checked the Windows Event Viewer? That will often provide additional details on why a crash is occurring.

Can you elaborate on why you uninstalled Autoit? Were you attempting to fix some other issue?

I have done it multiple of times.  Taking an .exe from a development machine to a production one having no AutoIt installed and it has always worked fine.  But if you rely on some external files (dll, exe, etc), it might be the cause of your issue.  In all cases, it is a good practice when you do such development/production scripting to add log/debug traces into the scripts you programmed that can be enable/disable to see where can be a problem when it shows up.
