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.
