AU3Recorder not running

Question

I downloaded the latest version and ran full installation using default settings. Then I downloaded SciTE4AutoIt3.exe. I created and saved a new .au3 file. When I click the AU3Recorder option in Tools menu nothing happens (I expected the recorder window to come up).

I searched C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE and C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Extras but can't find AU3Recorder.exe there so that's probably why it didn't run. I also tried reinstalling those two application already. How to get the recorder to work on Windows 8.1 Enterprise?

I found the zip file for AU3Recorder.exe and put it in C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Extras\Au3Record\. The recorder window now opens but when I click record I get an error popup that says "DLL load Failed". What DLL file is meant and where I can get it?

Answer 1

I downloaded the zip file instead of the install file.

• Open the zip and file go to install/Extras.
• Copy entire Au3Record folder.
• Paste in C:\Program Files(x86)\AutoIt3\Extras\.

It worked without even closing AutoIt. I did not have to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable, but I may have installed it at an earlier time.

Answer 2

Summary of steps that I followed:

1. Downloaded AutoIt.
2. Downloaded Script Editor.
3. Downloaded zip file
4. Copied entire Au3recorder folder into Program Files (x86)\AutoIT\Extras\.
5. Rebooted system.
6. Created new au3 script.
7. Saved.
8. Went to Tools > Auto Recorder and confirmed that auto recorder appeared.

Answer 3

Looks like the last version of the zip to include plugin is here
