ScITE editor for Windows 2000

Recommended Posts

The editor in the last AutoIt package for W2k (v3.3.8.1) isn't recognized as a valid EXE by W2K. (Apparently it needed to be compiled by an earlier version of Visual Studio in order to work on W2K.)  Is there a version that will work, or does anyone have an alternative they could recommend? I don't have VS myself.

Thanks

Have you tried the Older SciTE version for WIn95 still available on https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit-script-editor/downloads/ ?

Ditch W2K. Problem solved. 😏

True, but I'm a beggar for punishment. I'm making my old systems talk and share seamlessly and reliably. I've chucked out all my hardware earlier than NT, the idea of making WWG311 cooperate seemed a bit pointless. Although I've still got the installation disks, and ditto for DOS. But I really loved W2K, so ....

No, I haven't, yet. Without knowing the development path of SciTE, I figured the very early versions may be a bit lacking (compared to more recent). What I have thought of is to progressively d/l earlier AutoIT packages than 3.3.8.1 until I find a version of the editor that runs on W2K. Who knows, maybe I will finish up with that W95 one after all.🙂

 

Thanks for your input, guys...

Ok, in v3.3.8.1 on the W2K system I replaced the SciTE folder with the corresponding folder from v3.3.6.1. The editor runs, I can create a file and invoke it, so it looks like I'm good to go. Fingers crossed.

True, but support tends to be dropped for old unsupported OSes, so yes not everything will work as it will in the new releases, but there really is no option here. Soon the next SciTE v5 will also be available in the SciTE4AutoIt3 version at which time we totally drop the WinXP support. Such is life. ;)
