Has anyone tried to find and/or launch applications with AHK scripts running on Windows XP 64? For some reason, code I've written (example below) doesn't seem to find anything...

Code:
AppPath64 = %A_ProgramFiles%\Revit Architecture 2008 - x64 Beta\Program
FLAG64 = 0
IfExist, %AppPath64%\Revit.exe
{
    MsgBox, 4, Revit Architecture 64-Bit Beta found. Would you like to configure its settings also?
    IfMsgBox, No
    {
       FLAG64 = 0
    }
    IfMsgBox, Yes
    {
       FLAG64 = 1
    }
}


The code above is looking for a 64-bit program installed in C:\Program Files and never gets to display the message box.

in that version of windows there are 2 program files directories. (I think one of them has an (x86) or something behind it) It is likely AHK is pointing to the wrong one... I would suggest hardcoding it for the time being

Yes, I've tried a hard-coded search as in the example below, but it still can't find the files under "C:\Program Files (x86)". Could it be that the parentheses are confusing AutoHotKey?

Code:
IfExist, "%ProgramFiles%\Autodesk\Worksharing Monitor for Revit 2008\WorksharingMonitor.exe"
{
msgbox,Found regular version.
Run "%ProgramFiles%\Autodesk\Worksharing Monitor for Revit 2008\WorksharingMonitor.exe"
}
else
{
msgbox,Can't find regular version.
}
IfExist, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Worksharing Monitor for Revit 2008\WorksharingMonitor.exe"
{
msgbox,Found x86 version.
Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Worksharing Monitor for Revit 2008\WorksharingMonitor.exe"
}
else
{
msgbox,Can't find x86 version.
}
exitapp

This works perfectly on a vista 64 bit - no "'s.
Code:
Run, C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe

Figured it out. In Windows XP64, if you run SET in a DOS prompt you will see the variable "ProgramFiles" as well as a new one - "ProgramFiles(x86)". This led me to believe that the original "ProgramFiles" now refers to the 64-bit program installation path which is still C:\Program Files\. 32-bit programs installed on XP64 get installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\; however, when AHK calls %A_ProgramFiles% in XP64, you get C:\Program Files (x86)\.

I had my search options backwards.
