Unable to open the script file - when running the exe.

[wysocki 0]

I wrote a small script which just reads and writes some text files and runs fine. I want to be able to run it on another computer so I did a BUILD and then tried to run the exe. It crashed with the message "Unable to open the script file". I tried a COMPILE (not sure of the difference) with the same results. I want to be able to copy this exe to run on another computer that doesn't have AutoIt installed. What did I do wrong?

You will probably need to post some of your script. IT sounds like some error checking will be needed to ensure the files can be read.

Here it is. Not much there but it runs fine as an au3.

If MsgBox(1+32,"Proceed?","This program will read all the *.URL files in the folder it" & @CR & "is run from and extract the URL= locations from them." & @CR & "They will be listed in the URL.TXT file." & @CR & "Proceed?") = 1 Then
$search = FileFindFirstFile("*.url")  
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    Exit
EndIf
$wHnd=FileOpen('url.txt',2)
While 1
   $filename = FileFindNextFile($search) 
   If @error Then ExitLoop
   $fHnd=FileOpen($filename,0)
    If $fHnd = -1 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
        Exit
    EndIf
    $text = FileRead($fHnd)
    $url = StringMid($text,StringInStr($text,"://")+3)
    $url = StringLeft($url,StringInStr($url ,"/")-1)
    If StringLeft($url,4) = 'www.' Then
        $url = StringMid($url, 5)
    EndIf
    FileWrite($wHnd, $url & @CRLF)
    FileClose($fHnd)
WEnd
FileClose($wHnd)
FileClose($search)
MsgBox(48,'Done','URL.TXT file has been created.')
EndIf

If the installations of AutoIt3 and Scite4AutoIt3 are not the latest versions, then try uninstalling them, downloading the latest versions and installing the latest versions.

That fixed it, Thanks!
