I have a Linux host, on which I do not do AutoIT (or I use Atom to write AutoIT scripts, but I do not deploy from Linux as of now). I have a Windows VM, and that's from that VM that as of now I deploy AutoIT scripts. The goal is to get rid of that Windows VM and deploy directly from my Debian physical machine, to Windows physical machines in the network (and maybe to Windows VMs too one day, but not right now). About Wine, I mostly have experience with games, and with the exception of CrayonPhysics I never was able to have one up and running... Maybe you're right and I should try to use RemoteExec from Wine (but my chief is apparently ready to ditch RemoteExec so having a professional tool directly from Linux is probably better, if I can just identify the right one). And yes, the AutoIT scripts we use are usually quite simple ones, like installing and configuring softwares. And we do compile them before deployment, so Puppet or Ansible would work just fine for deploying them on Windows computers ?

Hi. I do not deploy VMs (as of now at least) nor deploy to VMs (again, as of now) but I do deploy from a VM. I maybe could use Wine indeed, my feeble experience with it is that it's usually less of a hassle to install a VM (as I did). But I would like to know if people have experience deploying autoIT scripts with Ansible or Puppet (or whatever professional tool exist on Linux) from a Linux computer ?

Hi there. At work we use RemoteExec for the deployment of AutoIT scripts to our Windows computers (that we need because of some proprietary software that doesn't have Linux ports nor equivalent). My computer is on Debian Buster so I have to use a Windows VM in order to use RemoteExec. Is there a native Linux tool that can be used instead of RemoteExec to deploy these AutoIT scripts ? I know there are good deployment tools like Saltstack that can administer Windows computers, but AFAIK they don't allow to deploy autoIT scripts, and they need a specific tool on the client (like Saltstack-minion).

If somebody still have this problem, I found no way to add the AutoIT syntax highlighting to the Linux version of Scite, but Atom has a functioning AutoIT syntax highlighting available (just look for AutoIT in the package manager of Atom).
