Three AutoIt questions (i.e., where to get code?).

I just tried the latest version of AutoIt. It _finally_ has installed
a package that makes sense! I always knew it would be an amazing, I
just could never figure out how it works. This time around, because
of the much more logical installation, I found out that it does
Auto2EXE! I never knew it could do that. This is exciting news!

3 questions, then, about this nifty app:

- will an EXE that I create a home, for example, work in a computer
that doesn't have AutoIt installed?

- will AI work as a no-install app? i.e., if I rigged up a zip file
purely for myself and took that to the office and dumped into a folder
there and did the filename associations myself manually, would AI
work? (We're not allowed to install things at the office so I'd be
following the letter of the law.)

- where do we go for code? When I'm writing bats and get into
trouble, I can go to the bat ng and they are wonderful there for
helping out.

Thanks!

Wrong... the fact that you have taken into work a disk from
outside of the office environment and put the files on that
disk into the works computer (installed), even worse
changing associations on the works computer to see those
files, you are liable for disciplinary action and possibly
an excuse for them to sack you - So what you are planning to
do is extremely risky

Yep, I've already done it, distributing an exe to others who don't have
AutoIt installed. No problems.

Not sure about it. I see that the install writes in the registry
informations about the application path and other settings.

I'd like to know it myself! I managed to learn it a bit from the help, where
are examples for every function. There is also a users forum, but I don't
like forums since my connection is too slow. It would be helpful it existed
a newsgroup dedicated to AutoIt.

Ciao,

Yes, you can create standalone exe and distribute it. No-
install. Such as the one in my site.

This I am not sure, but my guess is not. But you can ask this
in the forum (see the link below).

Yes, it works fine as a "no install" app. I use it at work and just
drag the folder from machine to machine.
