crashsoup Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 It's been several years since the last time I've used AutoIt so I'm going way back to basics. Just trying to get a simple script to run like activating a Notepad window or even directly copying and pasting from the tutorial, keeps giving me the same error that the system can't find the file specified. I have the file saved to the correct location. I'm sure it's something simple, but I cannot figure out how get AutoIt to go. >"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\AutoIt3.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.au3" /run /prod /ErrorStdOut /in "C:\Users\Cheryl Campbell\Desktop\autoittest\test2.au3" /UserParams >The system cannot find the file specified.

crashsoup Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 I did a full uninstall and reinstall. I am on v3.3.16.0 released on 6 March, 2022 if that is what is included in the download installer from autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads When I check the About info is says version 4.4.6 with release date of Mar 6 2022.

Danp2 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 In addition to @Exit's good advice, I would double check to make sure your Anti-virus software isn't interfering with the script execution.

crashsoup Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 @Exit What is "Jos" ? When I download version 3.3.16.0 and launch SciTE with it, I get the Lite version even though this option from https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/ says full installation Where do I find the full version?

Danp2 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 You can download the full version of Scite from here. P.S. I wouldn't recommend downloading Autoit from an alternate source since you have no idea if any changes have been made.

crashsoup Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 @Danp2 I'm only downloading from the autoitscript.com site, nowhere else. The link you provided, I get an error on that exe file. I have also rebooted after frigging around with this a few times just to try to start with a clean slate. Still having issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashsoup Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 @danp2 I've reached out to my internal IT support for them to check the anitvirus software (Webroot) since it's locked down and I can't do anything with it other than run a scan. It appears that Webroot could be stripping out files because my "threats removed" count has been increasing since I started this process earlier today.

Danp2 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 @crashsoupI've used webroot in the past and it can definitely interfere with the install or execution of Autoit. Hopefully your IT team will be able to add the appropriate exclusions so that you can avoid future issues.

Danp2 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 @mLipokI suspect that the AV software will react the same way (ie: quarantine the main EXE file) no matter which version of Autoit is used.

crashsoup Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 My internal IT said Webroot is picking up a W32.Trojan.Gen that was added to their library on 7 Mar 2022 and is blocking the installation. So there is something within the exe that Webroot definitely doesn't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
