why don't you do it Bob? I'm guessing you're of a decent enough skill level to do one.

Though it would be nice to see that as a button in Autoit menu to do a "update autoit" function.

ok, I was already thinking of doing this. and while I could do it in under five lines, I've decided to make it more complicated, here's what I came up with in the last 20 minutes, I'm going home, but if anyone has any other settings or options that they'd like to see in the script, let me know. the idea being that the first time you use it, it makes the INI, after that, it's silent.

;download and update latest unstable of autoit
;the first time you run it, it'll ask for your preferences.

if fileexists("update.ini") =0 Then
   $download = InputBox("AUTOIT URL", "Paste the URL for the autoitunstable url that you'd like to download." & @LF & "(include the http://)", "http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/unstable/autoit/autoit-v3.0.102.exe")
   $targetfolder = FileSelectFolder("Target directory for Autoit download","", 1)
   $installdir = FileSelectFolder("Directory to install Autoit in","",1)
   if MsgBox(4, "Overwrite previous version?", "Do you prefer to overwrite the previous version, or install fresh?" & @LF & "Yes to Overwrite and keep your settings") = 6 then
      $overwrite = 1
   Else
      $overwrite = 0
   EndIf
   IniWrite("update.ini", "PREFS","overwrite", $overwrite)
   IniWrite("update.ini", "LOCAL","installdir", $installdir)
   IniWrite("update.ini","LOCAL","folder", $targetfolder)
   IniWrite("update.ini","NET","download", $download)
   
Else
   $overwrite = IniRead("update.ini", "PREFS","overwrite")
   $installdir = IniRead("update.ini", "LOCAL","installdir")
   $targetfolder = IniRead("update.ini","LOCAL","folder")
   $download = IniRead("update.ini","NET","download")
EndIf

$filename = $targetfolder & "\" & StringTrimLeft($download, StringInStr($download,"/",0,-1))
URLDownloadToFile($download, $filename)
;I could just do a /S to do a silent install, but that sounds too easy. unless there's command line options for the setup's options, like file defualts and overwriting the current install?

Well it ran fine the first time but when I ran it again it errored out . don't remember what it said now .

that was very, very rough draft.

I've posted the completed on in scripts and scraps.
