AutoHotkey.dll v2 beta release - COM issue

Hi, I downloaded ahkdll-v2beta-release-master.zip from somewhere in September, but I can no longer find a link to that beta release.
At the moment I have ahkdll-v2 alpha registered for COM, and use it via "ComObjCreate("AutoHotkey2.Script") without issues.
The beta release that I have (maybe not up to date? Timestamp 31 Aug 2021 at 23:48) seems to be missing the COM-related functions, no entry point. Here are the only functions dllexp.exe shows:
- beta-1 funcs.PNG (4.08 KiB) Viewed 3267 times
Obviously, regsvr32 fails on this DLL.
Am I missing something?
Also, if there could be a link somewhere on the forum to the beta release it would be nice (maybe it's there somewhere?).
Thanks very much!
Regards,

I guess I'm not up to speed on this.
Might I ask how I would convert the script below to use your DLL? This is using the January 2021 version of AHK Dll v. 2.
Code: Select all
ahk := ComObjCreate("AutoHotkey2.Script")
ahk.ahktextdll("")
ahk.ahkexec("#Persistent`nMsgbox(""Hello AHK"") ")
;~ while (ahk.ahkReady()) {
;~ sleep 100
;~ }
ahk.ahkTerminate()
Thanks!

Code: Select all
ahk := ComObject("AutoHotkey2.Script")
threadid := ahk.NewThread("Persistent`nMsgbox(`"Hello AHK`") ")
; threadid := ahk.NewThread("Persistent ")
; ahk.ahkExec(threadid, "Msgbox(`"Hello AHK`")")
while (!ahk.ahkReady(threadid)) {
sleep 100
}
ahk.ahkPostFunction(threadid,'exitapp') ; ahkFunction(threadid, 'exitapp') will block the calling thread.

I'm trying to access a V2 COM object from AHK v1. That won't work for v1.
I get this error when I run that using AHK V2-beta1:
Code: Select all
---------------------------
test3.ahk
---------------------------
Error: (0x8002000E) Invalid number of parameters.
Specifically: ahkReady
Line#
001: ahk := ComObject("AutoHotkey2.Script")
002: threadid := ahk.NewThread("Persistent
Msgbox("Hello AHK") ")
---> 006: While (!ahk.ahkReady(threadid))
006: {
007: sleep(100)
008: }
009: ahk.ahkPostFunction(threadid,'exitapp')
010: Exit
Try to continue anyway?
---------------------------
Yes No

running in v2 beta.3
The number of
ahkready parameters is wrong in V1, and the other methods seem to work normally.

Not sure what's happening for me. This is using AutoHotkey64.exe just downloaded from your github page. Same script I just copied from your post.

I probably know the reason. The method parameters are not defined correctly
