Ahk2Exe works only if it is run as an administrator

[neosix]

Hello guys. I've been using Ahk for a decade and never had problem like this.

If I try to compile Ahk script in Scite I see message: Successfully compiled: , but there's no exe file. I tried compiling the script directly via Ahk2Exe gui, and from cmd and the same thing.

The only way is to run Ahk2Exe as administrator.

I'm on Windows 10 LTCS x64, and I installed the latest Ahk.
UAC is disabled completely, Defender is disabled and I have no Antivirus.

Check if you have write access in the output folder.
You can also change the output folder (e.g to Desktop)

Did it work before?
(I mean with the latest AHK version)

I checked permissions, no issue. I tried to downgrade Ahk, but still the same problem.

So we both are speaking about this?

How are your settings?

If you let your output folder opened (while clicking on convert), does anything get changed (at least for some milliseconds)?

Nope, nothing happens, I've just tried. It says Conversion complete, but no exe file. The same thing if I use Ahk2Exe from cmd.

Really strange.

try turning uac to the second-from-highest

Just tried, nothing.

hmm, how about run (don't compile) a simple script like:

Code: Select all

SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
FileAppend, text, fakeexe.exe
ExitApp

Sorry for the late reply. This works fine, fakeexe.exe is created. I think the problem is Windows, I will reinstall it when I have time
