Execute .au3 scripts via AutoItX?

[kramed]

Hello,

Great piece of software you have here, very impressive.

Anyways I would like to know if it is possible to execute regular .au3 scripts via the AutoItX .dll ? I need to automate several simple tasks in many different ways (each requiring a seperate script) on machines that will not have AutoIt. I know it is possible to use compiled scripts but was hoping that I could include the support to run the script in my program.

What are my other options if this is not possible? Compiling each script? Reading through the license it appears that distributing the Autoit3.exe is legal as long as the help chm is included. Am I clear on that issue?

Thanks,

Mark

No.

If you want to execute scripts though, you can compile a single blank script and distribute that, then use the command line to execute a script from it. I forget the syntax, but it's in the help file.

I'm not sure if this is correct...

$ScriptPath = @ScriptDir & "\Hello.au3")
Run(@AutoItEXE & " " & $ScriptPath)

Run(@AutoItEXE & " " & $ScriptPath)

It's not.

Edit:

look for /AutoIt3ExecuteScript

It still works for me though...

It still works for me though...

Because you have autoit installed on that machine

Oh..

Yes, a compiled script won't be able to run a script that way, it'll need the extra parameter.

Thanks, appears to be working well so far.

This tip works great. I now advise my Intelliremote users who need more functionality than AutoITX can provide to just execute the full scripts this way. Very cool!
