right click -> no autoit

[etfaker]

hello.. i just installed autoit on my vista and dont see the normal autoit stuff (compile script,run script,.. ) if i right click a .au3

anyone knows why?

did you use the installer or the zip file? You could go to folder options>file types>.au3 in explorer and see if .au3 is registered and what commands are there (if any). The installer version should add the extensions automatically if you have rights to the Hkey_classes_Root branch of the registry

think i used the installer and not the zip.. and i have UAC disabled..

and where are these options..

on folder options there is nothing called "file types" or similar?

[etfaker]

i just reinstalled everything.. autoit + beta .. stil nothing in cotnext menu.. also wenn openening a .au3 (which i set for editing the script) it tells me .au3 is not associated with any programm. I manually changed oen it with scite..

plz can´t anyone help me? every script i try to compile doesnt work.. windows vista 64bit.. anyone maybe ?!

What is shown for properties of .au3 file (right click -> Properties)?

edit:

If everything is written to registry as it should, in properties you should see that it's:

Type of file: AutoIt v3 Script (.au3)

Opens with: AutoIt v3 Script

Do this regardless of what you have done previously:

Click Change... and then choose AutoIt v3 Script /AutoIt Team/ (browse if you have to locate it) and click OK (important!).

That should do it.

If not it's a registry problem.

Didn't I explain? Here again:

Click Change... and then choose AutoIt v3 Script /AutoIt Team/ (browse if you have to locate it) and click OK (important!).

AutoIt3.exe (you need to find this when click Browse) is located in \Program Files\AutoIt3 if you haven't changed that when installing.

type of file: AU3 File (.au3)

opens with: AutoIt v3 Script

That's a huge progress. It means that it's written to registry.

Now do it one more time (post 5). You don't need to browse now. Just click OK (If it's AutoIt v3 Script).

The change should be instant, desktop refreshed, and everything should work.

what u mean with do it again? I should change the association again? to the same .exe?

@edit:

if yes.. i did.. it refreshed but still no compile in context (but edit & open)
