Peter Smick Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I am new to this, but have an AutoIT script that had been compiling just fine (AutoIt v3.1.1). Today, I made a minor change to the script and got the above error when I tried to convert it to EXE. I have uninstalled and re-installed AutoIt, and get the same error. On a second machine with AutoIT installed, the script compiles OK. What might be wrong on my main machine? Any help would be wonderful. Thanks.

Valik Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) Welcome Peter SmickWhat is the error that you receive?Errr, probably the one in the topic title?Peter, make sure there is a copy of upx.exe in the same folder as AutoItSC.bin and Aut2Exe.exe.Edit: And perhaps make sure it's a valid application (It's a console application).

Peter Smick Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) Yeah, sorry about using the Subject line that way, I should have repeated it in the text. The error is "Unable to execute upx.exe to compress stub file." Anyway, UPX.EXE is where it should be and it seems to be a valid file--I get the usage/syntax info when I run UPX straight from the command line--I assume that means it's valid. Other thoughts? Thanks again. Peter. Edited March 6, 2006 by Peter Smick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Smick Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Well, you know what? The problem seems to have gone away. I just tried it again and it worked. So maybe it was just some underdone potato. The script being compiled creates something of a TSR, and it may have been that the destination file was still running in memory even though I had killed it in the Task Manager. We live and learn. Thanks for such fast responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
