Will Visual C++ 10 be what AutoIt is compiled in from now on? The only reason I ask is because this will break backwards compatibility with Windows 2000 and Win XP (pre-SP2).

One of you who are having a crash issue with Au3Check, please provide the following:

  • The script. If you are obfuscating it then provide that version. I want a file I can pass to Au3Check that should cause it to crash.
  • The OS you're running on.

Pretty sure it works on 2000 the last time I tried when I first installed VC10 - I think it's just the docs that remove the mention of "support". I'll need to recheck though.

Edit: Hmm, maybe it was the beta of VC10 that worked. This thread seems to support what you say: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2484511/can-i-use-visual-studio-2010s-c-compiler-with-visual-studio-2008s-c-runtime

Loss of 2000 support doesn't bother me that much (can use an older version). But XP RTM and SP1 is slightly different. I'll try the assembler hack suggested in the thread. Or I could use VC9, but I really don't want two dev envs again.

Valik,

- OS: Vista x32 SP2 English

- Obfuscator parameters: /sf /sv /om /cs=0 /cn=0 (I have tried without /om and get the same results)

Result from Beta AU3Check 1.54.20.0 - always the same error code:

>Running AU3Check (1.54.20.0)  from:C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Beta
!>08:24:33 AU3Check ended.rc:3

This one crashes in both original and obfuscated form:

This one crashes only in obfuscated form:

Neither script crashes in either form with Release AU3Check 1.54.19.0

Let me know if you need anything more.

I've added the workarounds for the main AutoIt exes so we'll see if it breaks anything. (I tested on win2k that basic stuff runs).

- Changed: Compiling with VC10. Added workarounds for Win2000/XP RTM to allow execution of AUtoIt, Aut2Exe, Au3Info, Au3Check and AutoItHelp.

Win2000 is still supported which is pre-XP

AFAIK AutoIt supports all of the NT platforms from Win2000 up.

Even XP is supposed to be phasing out soon.

Support for XP ends soon. That in itself doesn't phase out the product. The product is phased out when there is no one left using it and it will be a long time before XP is gone from the scene. Ask any technician how many XP systems he still sees in use.

It would be better to drop back to VC9 than to drop XP from the products supported by AutoIt. Getting VC10 working properly is a far better solution.

Just an FYI, I just downloaded the beta and ran Au3Check and it's giving me a version number of 1.54.19 but still crashes with Trancexx's script.

This may be an obvious question. How do I know if I'm using the beta? I have it checked to use 3.3.7.1 in the SciTE Config for AutoIt menu. But when I run this: MsgBox(0, '', @AutoItVersion) then it says I'm using 3.3.6.1.

You have to specify in every script to use the beta by including this: #AutoIt3Wrapper_Version=Beta.

correction, that's how you tell it to compile it using the beta, to RUN it using the beta there's a tool on the Tools menu that allows you to use the beta version to run/compile etc.

Totally baffled why the code crashes. Looks like it should work perfectly fine.

Maybe it's one of those bugs where it's always been broken and some in memory buffer has moved with the new compiler and a previously unseen memory problem is showing up. I hate those.

assuming you have the full version of SciTE installed:

F1=Help Production

F5=Run Production (Will run AU3Check and AutoIt3)

Ctrl+F5=Au3Check Production

F7=Compile Production (Will run AU3Check and Aut2Exe)

Alt+F1=Help Beta

Alt+F5=Run Beta (Will run AU3Check and AutoIt3)
