Autoit Recorder not available

Question

From here I downloaded:

1. SciTE4AutoIt3.exe
2. SciTE.exe

But AutoIt Recorder is not in the tools menu. Also tried downloading AutoIt Recorder, though I could not. How to get AutoIt Recorder?

Answer 1

As of AutoIt v3.3.14.1 AU3Recorder is not included anymore. The only way is:

1. Download AutoIt v3.3.14.0.
2. Copy
   autoit-v3.3.14.0.zip\install\Extras\Au3Record
   to
   {AutoIt-Install-Dir}\Extras\Au3Record.
3. Start AU3Recorder:
   • Run {AutoIt-Install-Dir}\Extras\Au3Record\Au3Record.exe.
   • Or open SciTE and click Tools > AU3Recorder (Alt + F6):
     
     

Notes:

• Version 3.3.14.0 has AU3Recorder.
• Version 3.3.14.2 does not.
• Changelog / history does not mention it.
• Explained here and here.

Answer 2

It has been removed from the main installer from v3.3.14.1 as it triggers many AV false positives. You can find an old version here:

https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/archive/autoit/autoit-v3.3.14.0.zip

A little explanation of the rather strange link above:

If we give you a direct link to the file (or the zip file which includes it) the site gets flagged as hosting malware (yes really!) - so what you have is a link to the AutoIt archive page and the name of the zip file you need to download from it.

https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/176009-where-is-au3recordexe/

It is then located in the zip file at: .\install\Extras\Au3Record
