  • Resolution set to No Bug
  • Status changed from new to closed

From the helpfile:
When writing text AutoIt will write using UTF8 (without BOM) by default. To write in another mode the file must be opened with FileOpen() and the relevant flags.

So the default has changed and you need to use FileOpen with the appropriate parameters.
