    [2005] Windows Recorder that outputs VB (or JS?)

    The excel macro recorder has been a godsend for me. I'm looking for something that can do the same thing on an OS level- record macros to VB (or JS) so that I can open them, edit them, and, most importantly, run them on other machines via WSH.

    Does such an app exist? Can Visual Studio (or a plug in) record basic windows activity?

    AutoIt can record mouse and keyboard movements, so it might do what you want.

    Make sure you download both the AutoIt setup and the full Scite editor.

    (bold mine)

    AutoIt v3 is a freeware 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 in a way not possible or reliable with other languages (e.g. VBScript and SendKeys)
    In other words, I can't take an autoit script and run it on another machine that doesn't have autoit installed. I'm also interested in an object oriented recorder, not mouse movement/window position.

    Thanks for your reply, though.

    You can create an EXE from Auto-it though, which you can then run on another machine.

    Yes, Jitbit Macro Recorder will compile an exe as well, but once you get the exe to the other machine, it can't be edited.
