autoit installs only as "run script"

[adambuzza@…]

I have tried unistalling autoit, restarting, reinstalling, but as far as I can tell it is only installing as the "run script" version.

In future, please ask questions like this in the forum - as it is most certainly not a bug.

When you install AutoIt you get a dialog asking you whether to "run" or "edit" scripts on opening - it has always been like this since I have been using it. If for some reason your install did not show the dialog (although I cannot imagine why it should not), you can amend the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoIt3Script\Shell registry entry to change the default behaviour. And if you use the full SciTE4AutoIt3 package, you can change the behaviour directly via the SciTEConfig utility.

Thanks I will look into the reg edit.
The "bug" is that during install I do get the dialog option run or edit, however irrespective of which I tick has been installing as the run mode.
