I created a script and needed to schedule it to run automatically from a scheduler app so I compiled it to an EXE. Of course, being an idiot, instead of renaming it to MyScript.exe, I OVERWROTE MyScript.AHK with the compiled version.

I've now effectively lost the source since and I can't get the compiled code to run. I renamed the MyScript.ahk to Myscript.exe, but it won't actually execute. It's like there's something missing. When I open up the compiled file in textpad, it looks similar to a different, working compiled script, but when I open the "bad" exe in textpad it opens as a normal text file, whereas when I open a different working compiled exe it knows it's a hex file.

Is there some sort of "executable flag/bit" that I need to flip to get it to execute? I'm thinking something like the linux exec permissions bit.

Can anyone help me out here? I've tried using the EXEtoAHK decompiler, but it errors b/c it doesn't think my exe is truly an executable either.

Can you upload it to autohotkey.net and post here, I can try, once I recovered my script when only exe left.

Did you use a password to compile?
