File Size After Compiling

[dfHunter]

Auto It scripts has a big size after compiling

file only with

;

compile into 500kb file, after upx ~250kb

with res hacker i can decrease size up to ~220kb, but empty file with 220kb - not good

when i open file with res hacker, i see, that debug strings are in file, so i think you insert error debug into script and something else

how i can compile script without it?

sorry for bad english

AutoIt is interpreted language. This means script is (in encrypted way) packed together with interpreter and bundled as one EXE file.

This is known behaviour and will not change - take it as fact.

Search forum for more details as this was discused already.

That empty file contains a full au3 interpreter, so you can use it to run au3 scripts from anywhere.See here:
