compile to exe?

[cew27]

hi i just made a simple script and compiled it to exe the code is as follows

MsgBox(0, "hello", "note pad note pad note pad note pad")

run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive ("Untitled - Notepad")

send ("hello lol i am learning auto it script")

when i compiled it and ran it it just opened the message box like 30000 times ? i had to restart as it showed 2 at a time and when i closed them it just ran some more

What options did you compile with?

[cew27]

what do you mean oppinions?

sorry for being a n00b i have never had this problem with the program before

[BrettF]

When you compile, you have the options such as compression, icons... the list goes on

[cew27]

oh i was just doing default ... normal compression and default icon

reinstall and post if the issue persists

[BrettF]

Ok. No problems here. What version AutoIt?

[cew27]

v3

[BrettF]

Run this script, and paste the results:

ClipPut (@AutoItVersion)

Add sleep(1000) to it

[cew27]

i ran the above script and it did nothing ... also what would the sleep do ....

i re-installed and the problem persists ... thanks for the help aswell

[BrettF]

Paste the answer... Run and press CTRL-V in this. The script automatically copies the version to the clipboard.

[cew27]

3.2.8.1

Ok. So you compile the script, with default options, then when you run that script, it opens up, and you get lots of msgboxes? Does notepad open many times as well? Try to uninstall, restart, re install and then try compile and run again. Just another quick question, how are you compiling? Right click on the script, SciTe?

[cew27]

it basically just runs the script many times ... when i look at the notification area it is full of 30+ autoit logo's ...

i tried compiling both ways

Then it's something wrong your end. Your computer is opening it x times. Not the script. I'm not sure there is much that anyone else can do.

[cew27]

ok

Oh trust me, its the script. I just had to reboot because of it!

[cew27]
