dingo Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hello everyone! I'm trying to figure out how to get started with AutoIt and need some help with the installation. It "think" I'm wanting to work with the beta version. Should I install the official version first and then install the beta on top of it? In looking at the list of files for the beta download I see a number of different files: autoit-3.1.1.132.zip autoit-3.1.1.133.zip autoit-docs-3.1.1.133-src.exe autoit-docs-v3.1.1.116-src.exe autoit-docs-v3.1.1.126-src.exe autoit-v3.1.1.132-beta-setup.exe autoit-v3.1.1.133-beta-setup.exe Should I use the 132 or 133 version? Should I use the zip file or the beta-setup file? TIA d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eynstyne Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 (edited) I'd use an install file for when you want to install autoit on the hard drive. The zip file should be used as a backup if your includes or examples are missing. Zip is also useful for portable drives or temporary storage (Zip disks) Download the Latest version. More bugs were fixed, but some things are kind of flaky. I stuck with the old beta version because labels were kinda screwy. I recommend starting with the newest possible version. More support will be available and more things were added Edited August 4, 2006 by eynstyne F@m!ly Guy Fr33k! - Avatar speaks for itself__________________________________________________________________________________________ite quotes... - Is your refrigerator running?

Helge Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Download the stable setup (needed to install beta).Download the latest beta setup (currently 133).Get a editor supporting AutoIt3-syntax etc. Scite4AutoIt3 is a good example.Run %programfiles%\AutoIt3\beta\Extras\Toggle AU3 Beta.au3 to toggle beta/stable.Think that's a pretty good start..

Richard Robertson Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 There probably won't be a new "release" version soon, don't bother asking about it. The betas are the best because they get updated so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
