Can AutoHotkey be run from a USB drive?
Will it work as a "portable application"?
I would like to be able to use it as a text expander on a variety of machines.
Please advise. |

AutoHotkey should work even from a 1.44 MB Floppy!
I think you can run it from the RUN Dialog like
A:\Autohotkey.exe A:\TextExpander.ahk

Hi,
I'd like to use autohotkey as a portable application, but I can't figure out how to do that...
Can you tell me how to do that exactly...
I used universal extractor to decompress the installer and launch the exe file from it folder but when I wan't to lauch a script it doesn't find autohotkey.
I saw that it can work on a usb key, so wich version should I install (I didn't see any portable installation on the website.
Thanks so much |

| There is a zipped version you can use instead of the installer version. |

To make it perfectly clear, the only files you need to run a script are:
autohotkey.exe and your script.ahk
Your other option is to compile your script on your homebase machine,
then take the compiled script.exe to other machines. |

Thanks.
I couldn't find the zipped file...
I'm I wrong or the edit function in the context menu isn't available in zipped version?
Perhaps I missed something... |

Yes, you missed something. The context menu just opens the file in the default application (notepad on most systems). |

To have the contextual menu items, you'll need to run the installer, it needs to change the registry. If you plan on creating a portable version with the contextual menu options, you could add/remove the registry entries yourself.

Another thing, the ABSOLUTE best thing to use {IMHO} for writing/editing your scripts is PSPad. I do all my stuff on public computers from my flash drive {since I don't have a laptop  } and have had no problems with them.
