autoit-3.3.13.19 compiler throws error unable to write .tmp file
| Reported by: | Owned by: | ||

| Milestone: | Component: | AutoIt | |
| Version: | 3.3.13.19 | Severity: | None |

Description
just compile anything. this has been happening since 3.3.12.1.
Aut2Exe Error
(X) Error: Error copying source to destination file.
C:\Users\Jim-Michaels\AppData\Local\AutoItv3\Aut2Exe\aut7725.tmp.exe
[OK]
this path is nothing like where I have stored the program.
does it recreate a complete copy of itself in %APPDATA%?

that's not fixing the problem. it's removing it by signature. or that feature is broken.

no, i don't think it's my antivirus, I think autoit is broken and has been broken for 3 releases. please fix. if I had a chance to look at the source (I know I could not), then I might be able to identify the problem.

nope, it' not norton. norton doesn't log this with 3.3.13.19, it's a bug in the compiler. please fix.

as it turns out, it's the fact that I am specifying the .bin files. why the switch is still shown in help and acted on in the compiler I don't know, if it's not supported anymore.

You must compile/built your script as administrator. So, open your IDE (SciTe) as Administrator.

Mr. Javascript, It won't make a difference... You don't need admin access to write to %temp%
AVs are known to mess with aut2exe, Temporarily disabling them might help.

Yes, found the same issue, switching off AVAST givs no error
How I have to figure AVAST then ?
Aut2Exe has been creating temporary files in an AppData folder since 3.3.12.0. What you are experiencing is usually your AV preventing Aut2Exe creating files at that location - the solution is to add that folder to your exception list.
And in future please search the forum and eventually post there to seek advice before raising a ticket.
