Window Spy not included with ZIP archive of AutoHotkey Topic is solved
Posted: 28 Sep 2017, 14:20
If a user tries to open Windows Spy while using the ZIP distribution of AutoHotkey, they are shown the following error:
If AU3_Spy.exe is extracted from AutoHothey's EXE installer and placed in the root directory for ahk.zip, Window Spy will work as intended. (See What is AU3_Spy.exe? Where can I find it?)
Is there a reason Window Spy isn't included with AHK.zip?
[Moderator's note: Topic locked. Refer to ahk_u32 zip - Could not launch file: AU3_Spy.exe.]
This happens because Window Spy's executable is not included with the ZIP version of AutoHotkey.Could not launch file: "C:\Users\...\AutoHotkey\AU3_Spy.exe"
If AU3_Spy.exe is extracted from AutoHothey's EXE installer and placed in the root directory for ahk.zip, Window Spy will work as intended. (See What is AU3_Spy.exe? Where can I find it?)
