@Chris - Thanks for removing the need for some of the modifications to the source files to be able to compile ok in VC 2005 Express Smile

.

I have added a zip file for download in the first post with the modified vcproj and sln files. Replacing these files after downloading the source should allow AutoHotkey to compile ok. If anyone gets a chance to give it a try then please let me know if it works ok.

Added modified project files for version 1.0.47.01.

corrupt-

Thank you for this information and providing the updated files. I successfully compiled version 1.047. I had one error, presumably because I had other older/beta versions of Visual C++ on my system. Here is the error and the solution for any who may need this:
fatal error C1902: Program database manager mismatch; please check your installation
The problem was corrected when I deleted mspdb80.dll from the Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin directory.

After referring to this thread for the third or fourth time, I figured it was time to say thanks...

Thanks for this very useful reference, corrupt! Smile

Also, the step:

You're welcome. Thanks for the tips. I'll have a closer look and update the instructions in the first post soon with instructions for the latest version. The instructions posted are for a previous version and could likely use a bit of tweaking.

I built the project, expecting to see the post-build event in the output window. When it didn't appear, I looked in the project config. I didn't find the build event, so thought "doh, guess I must have to add the event myself..." Embarassed

It took me a few minutes to think to check the Release configuration. I barely ever build "Release"; so far I've only been using the debugger to get a better understanding of how AutoHotkey works internally. Nothing major.

It is better to sit here and look stupid, rather than to open my my mouth and remove all doubt....

So I deleted my stupidity! Embarassed

this topic is about how to compile the Autohotkey.exe in C++, not how to compile AHK code in C++.

you can disable UPX for your scripts - search the forum.

I always thought it would be great if there was a developer's section in the forum. This way developers could focus more on their issues, C/C++, and development of AutoHotkey VERSUS just AutoHotkey the scripting language and user issues.

Anyway, good stuff.
