Running AutoITv3 from USB without using SCiTE

[schumi 0]

Hi,

Just new to AutoIT and was searching for a way to get it running from USB drive.

I have found a topic about it ( http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...amp;#entry64536 ) but that is in combination with SCiTE, i'm using my own editor so don't need SCiTE.

Now i wanted to know what things i DO need from SCiTE and how to make AutoIT itself portable?

Did you doubleclick on AutoIt3.Exe or have you read the helpfile running scripts?

AutoIt specific command Line Switches

Also, you want to make sure you downloaded the zipped version, not the installer version of AutoIt.

The thread you point to contains a script I started at that time to easily set the registry and run from the USB drive. Just update it to use your own preferred editor and yo0u should be in business.

I don't have admin rights coz I'm an automated tester - is there a way to run and debug it from usb?

Talk to your PC support folks if you want a proper answer to this question, but when an USB drive is allowed then you can very likely run AutoIt scripts from it.

The only issue you could have is that au3 isn't associated with autoit3.exe which means you need to put the command in a batch file or something.
