Won't work after compiled.

[Frogscape]

I am trying to open a webpage and download an mp3 file (in this case just a file) and save it automatically. Here is the script.

CODE

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/downloads.shtml")

_IELoadWait($oIE)

Send("{TAB 16}") ;Presses +TAB 16 times

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("File Download")

Send("{TAB 4}") ;Presses TAB 4 times

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Save")

Send("{ENTER}")

Instead, I get an error box after I compile and run the exe program using the full version of SciTE editor on win 2000. But if I compile to an a3x file it works fine. I also compile example scripts that came with Autoit v3 such as calculator.au3 and the compiled exe won't run. What is the normal way to compile them?

Thanks

Reinstall the AutoIt suite. Reboot. Try again

[Frogscape]

Still no go. I reboot, uninstall Autoit. Then, re-download then reinstall the full installation, then reboot and still no go. I've even use Aut2Exe to compile. None of the au3 scripts in the help file won't work when compiled to exe. I have use Autoit maybe two years before on this same PC but on a different hard drive on the same configuration and it worked just fine. Is there a normal method to reinstall the program?

Make sure the obfuscator is disabled, disable UPX and try changing it to ANSI for testing.

That executable you uploaded crashed on my computer.

I have the same problem with an embedded IE script. It runs fine from SciTE in production or Beta versions but crashes at the first line which uses _IENavigate when it is compiled in production or beta versions. So far it seems to work ok if I do not use UPX compression.

Yes, I also did run that exe on another PC and it crashed. I've tried what you've mention and and ticked and un-tick various radio button on the compile options and it still failed to work. But when I compiled the script on another PC it didn't crash. It seems as though my PC isn't allowing me to compile correctly. If there is any suggestion anyone could suggest I'd try, I'd appreciate it.

One other thing, on my previous post I said, 'None of the au3 scripts in the help file won't work when compiled to exe.' I meant all the ones I tried, none of the au3 scripts in the help file worked after compiled to exe.

Thanks for all the inputs.

Something is interfering. If you have an antivirus, try disabling it, if you don't have an antivirus, then get one !!!

I think Dale and Jos have already worked on that. If I recall correctly, it was the use of Execute() in that function, which the documentation already says is not compatible with Obfuscator.

add

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator=n
#AutoIt3Wrapper_useupx=n

to begin of your script and compile it from full scite (scite4autoit3) by F7

Also try to compile some basic script like

MsgBox(0,'Title','Text')

We indeed have worked on a solution to allow ie.au3 to be Obfuscated.

In general I would recomment to always ensure that the script runs correctly without Obfuscating it and only then Obfuscate it when needed.

??

I',m not using obfucation.

?? Exceute() isn't used in _IENavigate ist?

All the sites I have problems with stream audio so I suppose it might be a problem with IE or with the audio drivers. It seems the compiled version works on other PCs.

I don't think this is related to Froscape's original post so I'll keep out from now on.

Question, in your attached photo, why would you block out the comments ; Presses tab Times and leave the coding there "{Tab 4}"

[Ealric]

NM my glasses are failing me - that's the cursor in the SCITE program.

lol - good point ReaImDown...

I would do like everyone else suggested and check every tab on your compile, making sure that the obfuscator tab doesn't have the run box checked.

You made me stop trusting to the swiss-cheese brain and search for the topic: Obfuscator IE Error

The use of Execute() was in _IEFormElementRadioSelect().

Ah I see. But that was more than a week ago, no wonder it was difficult to remember

I forgot I said I was going to keep out of this thread and that was only a few minutes ago!

Posting a follow up here. It turns out my PC was infected with a spyware and I did not have an antivirus, but I do now. The antivirus wasn't able to clean the PC so the PC had to be formatted. Everything is back to normal. Thanks and apologies to anyone that is inconvenient by this.
