What I want, showing the properties-Window of this file,
wait until I close it, THEN exit the script

Code:
Run, properties C:\AHK-Test.txt
; I assume the file exists !!!
SetTitleMatchmode, 2
winwaitclose, AHK-Test
exitapp

Properties flashes shortly, script exits and Windows-Error occurs

Code:
Run, properties C:\AHK-Test.txt
; I assume the file exists !!!
winwaitclose, Eigenschaften von AHK-Test.txt
;english Windows would show (I assume) "properties of AHK-Test.txt"

property-Window flashes shortly, closes and Windows-Error occurs

Code:
Run, properties C:\AHK-Test.txt
; I assume the file exists !!!
SetTitleMatchMode, 2         
winwaitclose, AHK-Test

same as above

Maybe I did a silly mistake (this often happens), but I don't get it to work
I experimented with
- Runwait, properties C:\AHK-Test.txt
- #persistent (at top of script) and ExitApp (at end of script)
- testet with WinwaitClose, ahk_class #(number show by Window-Spy)
- sometimes (i don't remember the code but It was when using #persistent)
I got the properties-window on screen. but if I closed it, the script stayed active
(in trayarea), also I added an exitApp at the end of a script. Shouldn't a sript exit
(also using #persistent) when exitapp is called ?

I thought what can be wrong.
Maybe the properties-Window is loosing (or never getting) focus
so it closes.

The property-window does close when the windows-explorer is open. and is getting focus.

No matter what I did (and I testet a lot), I don't get it working.
I am using WinXP-Home german
-Version
(SP2, always updated with Windows-Update).

Edit: I was not sure if I should post it here (if it is a bug)
or post it in the Support/Help-Section (if I am simply silly)

I'm surprised you get a "Windows error". Even in debug mode, the script doesn't generate any errors for me.

To solve this issue, try adding a WinWait after the Run command. This gives the window time to appear before the script starts waiting for it to disappear:

Run, properties "%A_ScriptFullPath%"
WinWait %A_ScriptName% Properties
WinWaitClose
