AutoIt v3 and SciTE Silent Setup/Installation: change default options

[Tralveller]

Hello,

i would like to automate the Installation if AutoIt v3 silently, so I already recognized to give parameter /S to it:
autoit-v3-setup.exe /S

How can I give the setup changed behaviors for:
Use native x64 tools by default
default option for *.au3 files

Thanks

Hello,

What exactly means:
You are running a 64-bit Operating System. You can use native x64 versions of AutoIt but some Scripts may not work as expected.
Use native x64 tools by default where possible?
Use native x64 tools by default
Use x86 tools by default (recommended for compatibility)


Whats happen during usage of AutoIt/SciTE with "Use native x64 tools by default"?
Is there a "fallback" implemented?
How can check in config file/Registry/etc. which mode is active?

Thanks a lot

1. I think that /S will install x64 version when nothing is installed yet and you are on a X64 version on window. ( or are you seeing something else?)

2. It will default to "run" at first install. The easiest is to update the registry setting after installation when you want "Open":

RegWrite('HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoIt3Script\Shell', '', 'REG_SZ', 'Open')

I have merged your other thread as these are related and want avoid to have to duplicate responses.

Which part of the text you see is unclear as I would think it is pretty descriptive...no?

So, just have a closer look and then take one question at the the time in this thread of the topic/part that is unclear.

Okay, I thought seperating this toppics avoid mistakes lose unanswered questions, but ok

Answer for silent install parameter and usage behavior of "Use native x64 tools by default".
I double checked installation: You are right, /S seems to select native X64 support.
I recognized that context menu shows on 64 bit AutoIt Applications for default operations. A fallback is also included (Options for selecting x86 oder x64 execution)
But see still x64 and x86 applications in Start Menu.
Also there are no different number of files insite the AutoIt3 folder.
In the AutoIt Help file under "Using AutoIt", "Running under Windows 64-bit Edition" I found an entry for that topic, but nothing detailed.
There's no other changed behavior?

hmm, OK, so there seem to be no other option.

 

I would like to provide the community an Install/Uninstall Script with all these options, so that IT Admins can fast deploy AutoIt and SciTE at Clients.
Do you have a tipp, at which topic I have to place this?

Thanks and kind regards
