AutoIt3Wrapper on XP 64 bit error

[sheck@…]

OS: XP 64 bit SP2
Autoit V3 3.3.6.1
Scite 1.79
AutoIt3Warpper 2.0.1.24

No matter which script I try to compile I always get errors:

03:32:23 Performing the Program Resource Update steps:

!>03:32:23 Error: Failed to enumerate RT_VERSION resources, using defaults.
...>Updating Program Version information.
...>Adding 6 Icon(s).
!>03:32:24 Error: Failed to append script data to end of updated executable. Try recompiling your script.rc:2

Exit code: 0 Time: 23.289

I tried using the latest beta of Autoit3warpper, but getting the same error. However, older Scite with autoit3warpper version 2.0.0.0 works fine. I also tried different versions of Autoit, which made no difference, meaning that the problem is with autoit3warpper itself. I tried the same on XP 32 bit and everything works there, no matter which version of autoit3warpper I use. So the problem only occurs in 64 bit OS.

This is an error from the Resource update routines in AutoIt3Wrapper.
Could you check a few things:

• Try disable your AV for that particular directory/file
• Make sure you do not have the Explorer open an the output script selected.

I have no way to replicate this error so its difficult to do any debugging.

Can you replicate it with a Vista X64 or a Win7 X64?
Which kind of processor are you running with AMD/Intel X64 or Itanium?

Hi,

I tried what you suggested and got the same results. I noticed that autoit3wrapper has been rewritten since version 2.0.0.0. I will try to figure this out, but it's hard to trace the whole thing if I didn't write the script. If I get anything, I will post it here.

I don't have Vista or WIN 7. I'm running on Intel Core 2 Duo.

I forgot to mention that I'm running Windows in VirtualBox under Ubuntu. I also have 32 bit XP running standalone.

If you are running in a VirtualBox I can imagine you can use a Win7 or Vista evaluation version. Perhaps we can see if the problem is still there.

Could you try the current version in the Beta directory and let me know if you get more info about the _WinAPI_LoadLibraryEx() which is probably failing for you.

$hModule returns 0x00000000
@error returns 0 and @extended returns 0

I think that's what you were asking for. Let me know if you need anything else.

Replying to sheck:

$hModule returns 0x00000000
@error returns 0 and @extended returns 0

I think that's what you were asking for. Let me know if you need anything else.

I added the following lines to the script which I assume will display the info when it's failing:

	If @error Then
		Local $terror = @error
		Local $textended = @extended
		Write_RC_Console_Msg("WinAPI_GetLastError:" & _WinAPI_GetLastError(), "", "!")
		Write_RC_Console_Msg("WinAPI_GetLastErrorMessage:" & _WinAPI_GetLastErrorMessage(), "", "!")
		Write_RC_Console_Msg("Error: Failed _WinAPI_LoadLibraryEx   error:" & $terror & "   extended:" & $textended, "", "!")
	EndIf

[sheck]

this part requires @error to be non-zero, otherwise it will be skipped. And since @error returns 0, that part is skipped. I will remove If statement and run the script. I'll post the results.

[Jos]

mmm...I expect the error to be set as that "should" be returned by the call:

Func _WinAPI_LoadLibraryEx($sFileName, $iFlags = 0)
	Local $aResult = DllCall("kernel32.dll", "handle", "LoadLibraryExW", "wstr", $sFileName, "ptr", 0, "dword", $iFlags)
	If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, 0)
	Return $aResult[0]
EndFunc   ;==>_WinAPI_LoadLibraryEx

so the DllCall doesn't return any @error and the return value of the call is returned only.

So this is what I get without the if statement:

06:35:26 Performing the Program Resource Update steps:

!>06:35:27 WinAPI_GetLastError:87
!>06:35:27 WinAPI_GetLastErrorMessage:The parameter is incorrect.

!>06:35:27 Error: Failed _WinAPI_LoadLibraryEx error:0 extended:0
!>06:35:27 Error: Failed to enumerate RT_VERSION resources, using defaults.
...>Updating Program Version information.
!>06:35:27 Error: Failed to append script data to end of updated executable. Try recompiling your script.rc:2
+>06:35:27 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:0

Exit code: 0 Time: 51.016

Seems that kernel32.dll doesn't like something. By the way, there are 2 of them on XP 64. One in C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64 an the other one is in C:\WINDOWS\System32 Not sure if you're aware of that.

[sheck]

any news on this problem ?

[Jos]

I cannot simulate it as it is working fine for me on my Win7 x64 Home.
Maybe you can do some more debugging on your system?
