Include file selection based on @OSVersion

[jinbaba]

Hello Folks,

I have a script that is to run on both Vista and XP. Some files are only present in XP and some only for Vista.

What I wanted to do was to include certain files only if OS is Vista and vice versa. The code I wrote is

If @OSVersion == 'WIN_VISTA' Then   
    #include<Vista_Library1.au3>
ElseIf @OSVersion == 'WIN_XP' Then  
    #include<XP_Library1.au3>
EndIf

When I execute my script on XP I get "ERROR: can't open include file <Vista_Library1.au3>" and on Vista I get error "ERROR: can't open include file <XP_Library1.au3>".

The question is how I can avoid this error, are there any language keyword for this situation?

Regards,

Jinbaba

Why not just include both UDFs with your script? Or write the script so that both could be included and supply a compiled version.

Otherwise, you could make another little script which starts your script.

Say your script is called MyScript.au3, then save it as MyScript01.au3 or any other name, but without either of those #include lines.

Write a small scipt called MyScript.au3 like this

If @OSVersion = 'WIN_VISTA' Then    
    $OSinclude = "#include <Vista_Library1.au3>"
ElseIf @OSVersion = 'WIN_XP' Then   
    $OSinclude = "#include <XP_Library1.au3>"
Else
  MsgBox(262144,"ERROR","@OSVersion is not supported by this script!")
 exit
EndIf

$text = $OSinclude & @CR & FileRead("MyScript01.au3")
FileWrite("MyScriptA.au3",$text)
$AutoItexePath = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir");installDir for production version

Run('"' & $AutoItexePath & '\AutoIt3.exe "' & ' "' & @ScriptDir & '\MyScriptA.au3"' )

#include <something.au3> just tells compilator to place external source into this position

it isn't dependend on If/Else it places sources always at compilation time.

You should include all (both) include files and call appropriate functions (not includes) based on OS version.
