After upgrading to IE7 and the latest AutoHotkey I recieve the following error when trying to run my script.
| Quote: | | The procedure entry point GetProcessImageFileNameW could not be located in the dynamic link library PSAPI.DLL |
After some research via google I found a similar problem people were having with a thing called smartbridge.

My error shows sprint, some show verison, just depends who you use.
To work around this error:
1. Navigate to the installation location for SmartBridge via My Computer (\Program Files\Sprint...\Smart...)
2. Find PSAPI.DLL and rename it to something like PSAPIOLD.DLL
3. Reboot the system
The program will find the new PSAPI.DLL in the \Windows\System32 directory and function normally. |
So I renamed the PSAPI.DLL in autohotkey folder restarted and it works. |

The psapi.dll file is required for the Process command to work on Windows NT4. In addition, AutoHotkey appears to be distributing the very latest version of the file, which is 4.0.1371.1 according to this MSDN link.
One solution (perhaps the only one other than the manual workaround you mentioned) is to have the installer omit the psapi.dll file when the operating system is anything other than NT4. However, that would break existing scripts on dual-boot NT4 systems (probably rare nowadays) or any configuration that accesses AutoHotkey.exe over the network from an NT4 machine.
If anyone else has this issue, please post here. If it's common, of course something should be done about it.
Thanks for the report. |

looks like Microsoft updated the PSAPI file with IE 7 the version on my computer is
5.1.2600.2180
I'm running Windows XP the error was coming up when i would try to
or try to run IE7 via a script.
Looks like someone already had this problem as well.

if you search PSAPI and IE7 via google you see its a problem with a lot of programs out there. Just thought I would bring it up. Thanks for all your hard work Chris. Appreciate all you've done with AHK its helped a great deal at automating tasks at work saving me hours of work a week. |

Yes, but that is the XP version (assuming you're using XP). Even if it worked with all other versions of Windows, I'm pretty sure that it's not allowed to distribute that version (but I'll try to find out).
Thanks for the other details you gave.
Edit: This issue has been fixed in v1.0.46 by removing the psapi.dll file except on Windows NT4. |

| If you have a psapi.dll file in your AutoHotkey folder, delete it. |

The AutoHotkey folder is typically at C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey
If it's not there, you'll have to search for it or look up its path in the registry. Once you find it, you can delete the file "psapi.dll". |

| Another method of finding your AHK directory would be to navigate in your start menu to: Start->Programs->AutoHotkey then right-click on the AutoHotkey shortcut and select Properties. Once the Properties window is displayed, click the button that says Find Target... |

| As yet another alternative, you can install the latest version of AutoHotkey because it should discover and use the directory you previously installed it (this also deletes psapi.dll for you). |

older versions of AHK came with psapi.dll It is needed for the Process command on older version of windows. What version do you have?
