Compiled script does not run under Winpe 2

Windows PE 2.0 or Windows Preinstallation Environment is a smallest Win32 operating system that has limited services which is built on the Windows Vista kernel. Windows PE is used to prepare or set up a computer for Windows installation, to begin Windows Setup, and to copy disk images from a network file server.

If you are running a compiled script file on your computer that runs on Windows PE then I think you need to use a computer with full Windows on it. Since the compiled script no longer runs, try opening it on a different computer that doesn’t run on Windows PE or a computer with full Microsoft Windows installed like Windows XP, Windows Vista, and so on.

You probably get this because Windows PE has very limited services. On the other hand, AutoIt doesn’t run on all versions of Microsoft Windows. The latest version, AutoIt 3.3.12.0, requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 as well as Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2.

If you still have the original uncompiled script file, install the latest version of AutoIt on a supported operating system then compile the script file into a standalone executable using Aut2Exe which is included in the installation.
