When running the following little script, Autohotkey reports an error:

Code:
Run, http://www.autohotkey.com


Quote:
---------------------------
R2323543.ahk
---------------------------
Error: Failed attempt to launch program or document:
Action: <http://www.autohotkey.com>
Params: <>

The current thread will exit.

Specifically: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden. (AGU: file can't be found)



Line#
---> 001: Run,http://www.autohotkey.com
002: Exit
002: Exit

---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


However my preferred browser opens up and displays the page.

My AHK Version is 1.0.46.17. What am I doing wrong?

It doesn't produce an error here. Could you please provide a bit more information about your system?

I am not able to reproduce it.. Maybe adding a trailing slash should help.
Somewhat, a related post: AHK fails to run some url shortcuts by Rajat

Try passing it as an arg, i.e. Run, firefox http://www.google.com

Well, I'm running W2k SP4. AHK Version is 1.0.46.17.
System default browser is Firefox 2.0.0.3 but IE and Opera are installed too.
Anything else?

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Well, I would have tried it already, but that's no option here. Maybe I'll have to say s.th about the background. Wink

I'm currently rewriting the 'CheckForUpdates' routine for BBCodeWriter.
Code:
CheckForUpdate:
  MsgBox, 8228, %lang_gui1_TtlMsgCheckUpdates%, %lang_gui1_MsgCheckUpdates%
  IfMsgBox, Yes
    {
      URLDownloadToFile, http://autohotkey.net/~AGermanUser/BBCodeWriter/version.txt, %A_ScriptDir%\version.txt
      FileRead, InternetVersion, %A_ScriptDir%\version.txt   

      MsgBox, 8228, %lang_gui1_TtlMsgCheckUpdates%
      ,%lang_gui1_MsgCurrent%`t%InternetVersion%`n`n%lang_gui1_MsgLocal%`t%Version%`n`n%lang_gui1_MsgUpdateVisit%
      IfMsgBox, Yes
        GoSub, ForumLink
    }
Return

It's working perfectly. As you see, after clickling "Yes" in the last MsgBox, BBCodeWriter gosubs to "ForumLink", which looks like this:
Code:
ForumLink:
  If LangPrfx = en
    Run, http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic6161.html
  If LangPrfx = de
    Run, http://de.autohotkey.com/forum/topic30.html
Return

And this is where the error occures. As I don't know the users default browser I can't pass the URLs as args. Assuming I would pass it as args, would require e.g. a firefox installation with your example code. Smile

I have a link to autohotkey.com in a AHK GUI and it works well.

Instead of:
http://www.autohotkey.com

Try:
http://www.autohotkey.com/

The final / is facultative for browsers because they are error tolerant. Without a final /, the string "www.autohotkey.com" have to be interpret like a file name instead of a domain name. And that's why your browser add it automatically when you don't.

So, in my humble opinion, it is due to a html error, not to an AHK bug.
