Grof Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Hello, I don'know if this is the correct section where place this message, so sorry for the error... I would contact the programmer's team of AutoIt for request, in the next release, a better management of Registry, with similar commands as in NSIS. I know, I'm a newbie in AutoIt, but if you need an help to develop this features, I can collaborate to test new release. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subz Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I've responded to your other post, as mentioned the UDF I mentioned covers almost everything you requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grof Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Here are the whole NSIS set of operations: https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Registry_plug-in I'm trying to use AutoIt as a portabilizer so the operations used more frequently (in NSIS) are: registry::MoveKey (Rename the original key in the registry for restore it on leaving) registry::RestoreKey (COPY THE KEY FROM PORTABLE FOLDER TO REGISTRY) registry::DeleteKey (delete a key) But also the others are useful... AutoIt seem to be more "reliable" than NSIS and more flexible, NSIS can be used as a portabilizer (writing in source code) or can be used as a compiling engine in PortableApps (PA in a wrapper with its own commands for semplifing the project phase). A complete AutoIt solution could be a killer app for NSIS e PApps in the portable field. Another good portabilizer is YAP: http://yap.rolandtoth.hu/#usage If the AutoIt programmers can be interested, this tool is very good but is discontinued) : - ( It came as a fork of NSIS (you can see the similar syntax), and developed indipendently. * For PORTABILIZER I'm talking about a launcher for operations, not a sandbox manager like Evalaze, ThinApp o TurboStudio.

Grof Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 I was forgetting... NSIS (NullSoft Installer System) is an installer. It's not created for build a portable launcher. AutoIt is created to execute operations, for this reason seems to be better than NSIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grof Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Subz thanks for your help, is very appreciate. About your idea there is a problem: When you create a launcher you have to reduce the connection with the operative system. If Microsoft in the next release use another command all the project fail to works. Viceversa if this command insn't in old version of windows don't works.

I understand as both the Autoit3 and SciTE4AutoIt3 installers are build with NSIS. ... but Autoit3 is not a installer generator like NSIS and all possible needed functions are available through UDF's or can build easily yourself with the provided internal functions.

Grof Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 "can build easily yourself with the provided internal functions". I don't understand... How can I rename a Key with the AutoIt internal function? Could you write an example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same speech about the ability of the cat of making the coffee. This thing has been said many times: AutoIt it's a very powerful language thanks to its various set of UDFs, where, in most cases, are more reliable than the native functions, so, have a wide look at what you can do with the tools you have, and build your own if you don't have what you need Click here to see my signature: Spoiler ALWAYS GOOD TO READ: Forum Rules Forum Etiquette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grof Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Finalmente un italiano!!! Non sono riuscito a trovare UDF. Cosa significa? (il problema è "build your own if you don't have what you need". Edited June 24, 2019 by Grof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancescoDiMuro Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) @Grof Yes, I'm italian but, since these we are on the AutoIt "English" forum, we have to talk in English as well. UDF stands for User Defined Function(s), a sort of library in which you can store some useful functions to use like an include. Sì, sono italiano ma, siccome siamo sul forum di AutoIt Inglese, dobbiamo parlare in Inglese. UDF sta per "Funzioni Definite dallUtente", ed è una sorta di raccolta di funzioni utili da utilizzare come una libreria Edited June 24, 2019 by FrancescoDiMuro Click here to see my signature: Spoiler ALWAYS GOOD TO READ: Forum Rules Forum Etiquette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
