You specically say that it is not necessary to uninstall the old version, but I have to to uninstall the old version AND reboot before reinstalling.

It is almost certainly my system (SP2), but has anyone any idea why?

Make sure you do not have any .ahk scripts running when you install. This is probably why you are getting an error during install.

Yes. Usually, I upgrade with the plain Zip file, as there is no need to re-create the shortcuts and the registry settings.
Sometime, I forget to exit my permanent script and the unzip program complains it cannot overwrite the AutoHotkey.exe file. I just close the script and do again. Same for the CHM (help) file.

BTW, I see no clear relation between your subject and your message...

My apaologies for not giving enough info.

Of course I checked that no Ahk script was running, especially as the message was that autohotkey.exe couldn't be replaced.

But, as today I can't reproduce the messsage even though it had happened at least 4 times before, and no one else seems to have this problem, we'll leave it until or if it recurs.

One item less!
