AutoIt3Wrapper - Compile methods and parameters

[Cofee]

Hi,

I used Autoit and compile my scripts with two methods. When I used Aut2exe, the process name of the running compiled app is the same as the file name (eg: copy.exe) but the lang verison is always English and the program version is always 0.0.0.0. I did not find any parameters that could affect these.

When I compile with AutoIt3Wrapper the lang and program versions are fine. If I run the complied app, the processname every time is Aut2Exe. This is a problem for me. I dont find any directives.

Please tell me how can I set the process name in AutoIt3Wrapper or how can I set the lang and program version number in Aut2exe converter.

Thanks

I do not understand what you mean here.
Please provide some more details what directives you use and where you see this processname.

Sorry I wasn't accurate enough. So if I complie my script, and I run the exe, in each case, the name Aut2Exe appears in the task manager instead of the application name (if I use AutoIt3Wrapper complier).

Thanks

I don't get that when I compile test.au3 and then shell test.exe, the taskmanager nicely shows test.exe.

Show show me a test script source that shows this issue after being compiled by autoitwrapper.

Here is a test code:

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=..\..\..\..\Temp\test.ico
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Comment=This is a test
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion=1.0.0.2
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion_AutoIncrement=y
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_ProductName=Test
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_ProductVersion=1.0
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_CompanyName=GDT
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Language=1038
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **

MsgBox(0,"Username",@UserName)

If I compile this in AutoIt3Wrapper (Ctrl+F7 in editor) and run the exe, in the task manager i see this:

You have to install FULL Scite4AutoIt3 to make AutoIt3Wrapper directives work (Compile by {F7}).

Standard AutoIt's installers contain only LITE Scite editor without AutoIt3Wrapper.

As far as I remember, I installed the full version of the Scite editor. But now I am reinstalling it at your suggestion (I am now using version 4.2.0).

Pressing F7 (= Build) creates the new exe file, but don't see any change in running time. The process name is still Aut2Exe in the task manager.

What could be wrong with me?

Thanks

The problem is that you do not understand what the different Windows 10 Task Manager tabs are showing you.  The image that you posted above is a snapshot of the "Processes" tab.  The "Processes" tab shows you a list of the running processes by their application description/name.  If you go to the "Details" tab, you will see a list of running processes by their process name (which is what you appear to be looking for).

If you want to customize what appears on the "Processes" tab of the Windows 10 Task Manager for your compiled script, then you can add one of the following 2 directives:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Description=<App Description>

or

#pragma compile(FileDescription, <App Description>)

I'm sorry, but I understand exactly what I see in Task Manager! My problem is the name on the process tab! As I wrote in the first post, if I use Aut2exe the process name is OK (also on the process tab):

But the file properties are wrong (version and lang code).

 

If I use the AutoIt3Wrapper, the result is as follows (also on the process tab):

But the properties of the file are fine.

Of course, in both cases, the task manager details tab shows the name: test.exe (but there was no question).

 

Please tell me, how can I set the application description/name with AutoIt3Wrapper.

 

Thanks

If you look in the scite help file, under the AutoItWrapper topic, at the bottom of that topic is a link for a full list of the directives.  Look at the AutoItWrapper_Res_... directives.  There's one that says it changes the lang code in the app's resource information.

;** Target program Resource info
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Comment=                    ;Comment field
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_CompanyName=                ;Company field

As you can see in my 3th post, i use this (and much more) directive:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Language=1038

 But I don't find directive to set name of the application (as I wrote in the first post). You found it?

 

Thanks!

I'm sorry, but the pictures in your post have not been downloaded for me so far.

Okay, the answer to my question is: #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Description

Thank you for helping me!
