.exe issue

[HardHackz]

Hey, I sent a .exe (scripted from AutoIT) to a friend and when they opened it, nothing happened. Do I need to either:

A. Make a directory called includes and put all the files I include to it or

B. The same as A but add the directory name in the #include <whatever.au3>

Don't understand what you mean ....

Included files are ...emmm ... included at compilation time ...

The .exe did not run on the persons computer. Do they need AutoIT?

nope ...

The idea of compiling is to make an exe that will run independently .....

You will have to look at you script to see why it doesn't work on the other PC .. .

It would probably be a good idea to have your script write to a log file in such a way that you can trace what actually is or isn't happening. That will help you identify where your problem is.

Like a debug which when things happen it will write error or success.

Now that I am home I checked the help file and found that _FileWriteLog() is the command you will probably want to use to do this. Look it up for details.

I looked it up for a keylogger, but yea, that should work, I just don't know how to make it log. I mean, what to log.

O.K. why don't you post your script here, so we don't have to guess what you are talking about?

[HardHackz]

I don't have it anymore but it was something like this:

#include <constants.au3>

Run("notepad.exe")
WinActivate("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("Hey, let's have some fun!")

It worked on my PC.

[SmOke_N]

Run("notepad.exe")
WinWait('Untitled - Notepad')
WinActivate("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("Hey, let's have some fun!")

[HardHackz]

Run("notepad.exe")
WinWait('Untitled - Notepad')
WinActivate("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("Hey, let's have some fun!")

No, it didn't even open notepad.

[SmOke_N]

No, it didn't even open notepad.

Are you sure "Notepad.exe" is installed on his computer and he's not using some other editor?

If FileExists(@SystemDir & '\Notepad.exe') Then
    Run(@SystemDir & '\Notepad.exe')
    WinWait('Untitled - Notepad')
    WinActivate("Untitled - Notepad")
    Send("Hey, let's have some fun!")
Else
    MsgBox(16, 'Error', 'You do not have Notepad installed in the System Directory')
EndIf

Yes, it's a she by the way, but yes. She has notepad, the file didn't even execute.

[SmOke_N]

Ok... I'm done with the cat and mouse... you don't have the script and are not recreating the actual script, shows you don't care much... so I no longer care... hope it doesn't happen in the future.

Edit:

P.S.

It almost sounds like you installed your script in the same directory and named it the same name as you were trying to call.
