JerryI Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I am a new user of AutoIt3. I notice in my task manager that sometimes there are 5 or 6 copies of the program running. What am I doing wrong? I have to close them out from Task Manager. Also, I was reading a tutorial by someone called Comi. It was useful, but (s)he references a help file for AutoIt3, which I cannot locate. Where is it, and how do I access it? I have looked briefly at AutoIt3_123, a tutorial that seems to require a beta version. Is there any problem in using the beta version, and do I have to uninstall AutoIt3 first? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Make a AutoIt Script. And put this inside: ShellExecuteWait(@ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.chm") (That may not be where yours is, but that is where mine is!)

JerryI Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Make a AutoIt Script. And put this inside: ShellExecuteWait(@ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.chm") (That may not be where yours is, but that is where mine is!) Thanks. I made a file help.au3 with the following line in it. ShellExecuteWait(@ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt\install\AutoIt.chm") and it brings up the help file, which I can now study. When I close these files, AutoIt.exe should no longer be seen in Task Manager, right? Can you explain why several instances seemed to be hanging open earlier?

Paulie Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I believe that you downloaded the Zip file, or self-extracting .exe as opposed to the installer, because normally, the installer does not create an "install" folder in program files.Best bet is downloading this Installer.
