AutoIt is a BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks or perform user interface testing.
Users new to the program are encouraged to read an introduction (thanks guinness.)
Note: the outdated (from 2012) AutoIt Portable allows you to create a portable environment of SciTE4AutoIt3 and AutoIt together, as well as cleaning AppData and opening the program editor with sample scripts (also thanks to guinness).
A 64 bit version is available (within the folder).

Runs on: | WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8 / Win10 / Win11 |
Writes settings to: | Application folder |
Stealth: ? | No. Every time one compiles a script (at least through SciTE=>Tools=>Build) it creates the folder "%LocalAppData%\AutoIt v3\" (specifically "%LocalAppData%\AutoIt v3\Aut2exe") for temp files. But since the files are temporary (only existing during compilation) the folder is at least usually empty. See bug report. |

v3.3.14.2
@IanFromBarrie, strange as Avast is being over protective. AutoIt Creator is designed by me and is not affiliated with AutoIt.
@Ganamyde, in the future please give a reason as to why that is, otherwise your comment has no merit.
v3.3.10.0
Twisted language, go for AutoHotkey instead.
v3.3.10.0
Oops. Went to the autoit portable link, where Avast blocked the download of autoit creator.exe, claimed it was infected with Win32-Evo-gen ...
v3.3.10.0
A new Portable version will be released next week. Thanks for reporting. Also the instructions for manual extraction are pretty clear.
v3.3.8.1
I have tried for over an hour to get the portable version installed correctly but have been unable to do so. I attempted the automatic version but did not successfully "drop" the two extra downloads on the GUI once I ran autoit-creator.
I tried the manual install and it did not work either.
Hopefully someone will inspect the readme file and the introduction by guinness for missing or misplaced instructions.
v3.3.8.1
I downloaded this and the linked portable SciTE4AutoIt3. I put the latter into a subdirectory of this (named SciTE4AutoIt3), and when I run `AutoIt3.exe HelloWorld.au3` from the AutoIt directory, I get a pop-up "It Appears AutoIt Portable was unable to load the SciTEGlobal.properties". How do I configure things?
