What happened to "Compile with Options"?

[Jos]

Was it decided that a beta install done after a production install should override the default settings?

I just installed beta 3.3.1.4 and it like previous betas trashed my "Compile with Options" and "Tidy" options in explorer.

I've reinstalled 3.3.0.0 to get them back.

"Compile with options" and "Tidy" is something that is set by the SciTE4AutoIt3 installer, not the AutoIt3 installer.

What version of SciTE4AutoIt3 are you running?

As you documented in post #7, the beta install replaces the "AutoIt3Script" value in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.au3\(default)with "AutoIt3ScriptBeta", and the beta Explorer context list doesn't include "Compile with Options" or "Tidy".

My SciTE is 1.78.

Edit: You had mentioned adding "Compile with Options" to the context list in the beta hive, which would make the registry change above insignificant. I'm not finding an SciTE4AutoIt3 version with that change.

True, just didn't remember it. Also did make the changes to the NSIS project file for the next release at that time.

Guess its getting time to put a new SciTE4AutoIt3 installer out there.

Hello, I have installed AutoIt and SciTE on my colleague's Windows 7 computer and the au3 files are not associated with autoit neither there are this context menu options which were there when I installed Autoit years ago.

So please tell me somebody clearly why this context menu option is still missing in today's Autoit and SciTE installations and why the files are not associated. Do I need to use this registry hack? I guess that things have changed two years after this thread was started right? Thank you

It's working for me on Windows 7 x86. Full install of Scite4Autoit3 and I have the context menu. I'd look locally rather than at the software.

[Jos]

What version are you running? The one that came with AutoIt3 or the SciTE4AutoIt3 installer.

Save attached script to the SciTE directory and run it to show the Registry issues/settings.

We have tried to run installer with "run as administrator" command from context menu but no change - au3 files still not associated and no context menu

Fix the key in the registry with regedit, as suggested by the script.

I dont know, but the file must save somewhere and I didnt find it, maybe the installation is wrong.

No matter I will look about that later, thanks.

Is there a question in your reply to this 7 years old thread?
