Jovan Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I have seen another post with the exact same problem. However, the solution (to amend the way the script is called) isn't a goer for me, as I have no control over the way the file is executed. The external application I am using allows me to enter the script into the application, then specify a file extension. The application downloads the script to the desktop temporarily, and uses ShellExecute to process it. It works with VBScript saved as a vbs file, but not AutoIT Scripts saved as au3. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance Jovan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hi. So "Edit" is the default action defined for *.AU3 files. Have a look at: Explorer, Extra, Options, File Types -> AU3 -> extended -> default action. Registry: HKCR\Autoit3Script\Shell, Standard Value. regards, rudi.

The default is run, and if I create an au3 script on my desktop, and double-click it, it runs fine, it's just when the external application tries to run it that it drops into SciTE to edit it.regards Jovan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trancexx Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) You cannot run .au3 script if AutoIt is not installed (or have at least one AutoIt program). VBS is a different story. But, let's say you have... then that other application is using "wrong" werb to shellexecute it.

Juvigy Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Is it an EXE file or an .au3 file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordicast Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) sounds like he has the default action with .Au3 files to run rather then edit. Making him think the .exe is the .au3 and hes pointing the external app to the .au3 file rather then .exe Answer could be the F7 button, Makes a .exe Edit.
