How to /nopack?

[minimen456]

Hello,

A new version of AutoIt has no AutoIt3Wrapper. In older version I could add compiler directive: #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseUpx=n

Is there a way to add /nopack compiler directive to my script in the current AutoIt version?

It never had AutoIt3Wrapper included in the AutoIt3 installer. This is added functionality I wrote and is included in the SciTE4AutoIt3 extra installer which you need to install to get this again. See my sig for a link.

Thank you! I've downloaded full installer and it worked, no more antivirus false alarm

I still would like to ask is there a way to add  /nopack compiler directive into the code if AutoIt3Wrapper isn't present in an environment.

Sure, look at the #pragma() option in the helpfile to set compiler options, in this case:

#pragma compile(UPX, False)

@Jos I am sorry becose I am not the OP but... about this subject. I just need to be sure . It is to make script unreadable after uncompiling ? 

Everyone use this but i guess it is for protection but, does i am correct ?

caramen,

All upx does is compress the executable to make it smaller - this was useful back in the days when disk storage was at a premium, but nowadays is not really necessary. However, the compression does make it more difficult to examine the internals of the executable and this often leads AVs to flag any compressed file as a possible threat - hence the option not to use the compressor when compiling. It does NOT add any form of security to the compressed code.

And you should know better than to even mention decompilation here - naughty boy!
