I'll try it on my Vista laptop when I get home (another 4 hours or so)

That dialog is very common when installing various applications in Vista and usually nothing to worry about. You will usually get an option at that point to try installing again with different options (compatibility mode). Alternately, you could close the window and attempt to run the installation file as administrator instead. Usually this is not necessary though. It seems that Vista doesn't like the way that some installers quit after installing an application. I usually close the Window and most times the application Vista was complaining about seems to have installed correctly and seems to run ok.

The might happen when the installer isn't run as administrator. Usually Vista detects the word "Install" in the installer's filename and automatically prompts you to install as administrator. But maybe this doesn't happen for AutoHotkey (or stopped happening with the latest Vista updates).

It's on my to-do list to add a require-admin flag to the manifest for the Installer.

Thanks.

UPDATE: Today's v1.0.46.14 adds the "require administrator" flag to the installer to avoid the warning dialog on Windows Vista

Thanks for the help.

The updated version installs ok on Vista Ultimate, too.
Thanks

Thanks for the testing. I've released an update to solve it.
