Be sure you are selecting the correct path to the compiler on your stick.

no the problem was that I put the original compile stuff that comes with auto hotkey in a separate folder... I didnt realize that it needed it in the same folder

So, you're good now, yes?

yes lol sorry im good

I couldn't figure out where does the shortcut icon that you can specify is used, any help?

Also the delete option causes a blank icon (invisible icon) to be used when you suspend or pause the script.
Or the icon for the application to be set to the next available icon.

let's explain it this way: the autohotkey.exe has the same seven icons like all compiled scripts and it is the icon that is only used for the ahk-files. maybe i should rename it to ahk files icon? but this could cause the same confususion.

Wait, that means that icon really isn't used for anything and is only there due to autohotkeySC.bin just behind a version for compiling of the standard executable?

i assume you know what's the AutoHotkeySC.bin for. in this case the following picture should be self-explaining.



Let's say AutoHotkey.exe is a more complex version of a compiled script, that uses the #include command to include the ahk-file that is passed as command line parameter.

I figured that much but as it seems that icon really isn't used for anything in a compiled script. Probably just remains so it is easier to compile ahk.

Is it possible to set the name of application Publisher ??
Within the complier ?

In Win 7 UAC shows Publisher as UNKNOWN.

I'd like to change that !!

Any Ideas ?

Thanks

When I compile something, and set ExecutionLevel to RequireAdministrator, it won't be possible to put this file in windows autostart if UAC is enabled (tested on Win7).

Any ideas?

No. UAC requires the file to be signed, but currently this isn't possible. See Signing with digital certificate.
Read Make Vista launch UAC restricted programs at startup with Task Scheduler. It also applies to Windows 7, except that apparently 7 doesn't warn you when it blocks stuff. I tested that method on my Windows 7 system after enabling UAC, and it started the script as admin with no fuss - not even a UAC prompt. Now to disable UAC again...

I read about that method before, but the problem is that I can't do that with ahk. Maybe requesting security privileges when they are first needed might work better?
