Title Installing the Macro Recorder
Date Updated 03/27/2006
Versions affected Automize 5.3+
OS affected Windows
Description Automize 3.x and 4.x supported Key/Mouse macro record/replay.  This feature is not inbuilt into Automize 5.x
Causes This feature is not inbuilt into Automize 5.x for the following reasons:
1) Feature is not multi-platform compatible
2) Very little user interest in this feature
3) Macro record/replay is always fundamentally unreliable
Solution

To install the Macro record/replay utility:   (Use on Windows only!!)
0) Make sure that you are using version 5.3 or later
1) Stop the Automize NT service if you are using it.
2) Shut down the Automize scheduler engine.
3) In the Automize user interface, use the Settings menu / Addons menu.  Select the Option to 'Enable Windows Macro Recorder'.
4) Shut down the Automize user interface.
5) Download macro.zip
6) Move to Automize folder.  
7) Extract the macro.zip file into the 'Automize' folder
8) Restart Automize
9) In the utilities menu, a new menu item is added for the 'Macro Engine'.  This allows you to create and edit macros.
10) In the Tasks / Windows menu, a new menu item is added to create 'Macro' tasks.
