Hello,

I'm trying to install AutoIT on a [Windows 2003] machine that has restricted access - I can't install any files, nor can I request or access Administrator rights.

So far I've tried installing AutoIT on another machine (into a folder called AutoIt-Transfer), zipping that file, and unzipping it on the Windows 2003 virtual machine. It does work, however it doesn't work well. There are many restrictions - MsgBox does not work for example.

Does anyone know of a workaround? For example, does AutoIT install files to the Windows directory? Maybe I can just copy/paste them in there?

Thanks.

There seems to be a mobile version of AutoIt - search the forum and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I run AutoIt from thumbdrives and in my OneDrive folder all the time, nothing special is needed to do it any longer. Just download the zip file of the AutoIt installation and unpack it to the folder of your choice. You can also run Scite4AutoIt3 as a portable "installation" by downloading and unpacking the zip version of that as well.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
