jvetter713 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Im programming in VB.NET and im using the COM dll. Simply including the Interop.AutoItX3Lib.dll that Visual Studio creates is not enough when I deploy this project to another computer. In order for my app to work I have to do a full install of AutoIT as well. Is there a way around this? How can I successfully deploy a project that references the AutoIT dll? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Are you sure you are calling the functions correctly in the AutoIt dll? Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SmOke_N Posted March 9, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 9, 2006 I'm curious myself on why you would have to install the entire autoit exe to use the dll... wonder if it has something to do with the 'location' your specifying for it (like if your not installing the dll to the system folder or calling it from there). If you were deploying an autoIt script is the only reason I could see why you would need the entire .exe file... Wonder if you took out everything but the .dll folder and .dll itself out of the AutoIt folder if it would run lol. Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt...

MHz Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Only the AutoItX3.dll is required. Simply dropping it in the working path is not enough. AutoItX3.dll will need to be registered with the system before it will be available for use (no matter where it resides). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
