Hello,

When I try to compile a script using COM_L I get an error when running the EXE file,

Error at line 42
The following variable name contains an illegal character:
"ppv.prm_"
The program will now exit.

I am using AHK2EXE (launching it, manually selecting everything) to compile. Script runs fine from SciTE with (I believe) the version of AHK_L stamped DEC in the zip file.

I cannot use regular COM, the script will not run.

Please help!!! thank you!!!

Make sure you have the most current versions of AHKL & COM_L.

But the compiler doesn't even ask for AutoHotKey.exe? What is it based on in AHK then? Lexicos compiler doesn't seem to have the whole package, only the EXE, and the COM_L file has two versions in it, completely unlabeled from each other.

How is one to know what to need and what to use? How can one switch between them easily?

Compiled, I mean, the package for autohotkey_L doesn't have an installer so it leads me to beleive that AHK.exe isn't even involved in this.

AHKL comes with a file called AutoHotkeySC.bin. This goes in the same directory as Ahk2Exe.exe. You want the Unicode version of AHKL. Same with COM_L - you want the Unicode version.

Thank you for the info! I'll get that sorted and try again.
