Prep: I usually have running scripts with AHK 1.0 and with AHK 1.1. I stopped all my running scripts.
(verified with "Process Explorer - Sysinternals:
http://www.sysinternals.com")
I spotted an "InternalAHK.exe" from my SciTE, which I also stopped. The toolbar in SciTE disappears but SciTE continues to work.
1 - I used "AutoHotkey Setup" from my Startmenu\Programs\AutoHotkey
2 - This started a new process visible in Process Explorer (as expected)
3 - I selected "Uninstall" inside the "AutoHotkey Setup"
4 - I confirmed one message with "OK"
5 - I start "AutoHotkey_1.1.25.02_setup.exe" from my Download folder.
6 - I start 64bit version of RegFromApp.exe from NirSoft to monitor the setup.
error: can't monitor privileged process, I go back to start 64bit version of RegFromApp.exe as admin.
error: can't monitor 32bit process, which the setup.exe obviously is, but I did not know.
I start 32bit version of RegFromApp.exe from NirSoft as admin.
7 - I choose "Express installation" (Default: 64bit AHK Unicode, Install in: C:\Program Files\AutHotkey
8 - I close the setup.
I get nothing from RegFromApp but an empty window.
Next I try to use RegFromApp's menu, where I find "Start new process Ctrl+N"
I put a tick in "Start tracing immediately", start it and get this message:
Code: Select all
---------------------------
RegFromApp
---------------------------
Failed to start with the new selected process. Error code: 299
Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
I have to kill "AutoHotkey_1.1.25.02_setup.exe" with Process Explorer, it somehow got started but never became visible.
Next I try to use RegFromApp's "Start new process Ctrl+N" again but, I DON'T put a tick in "Start tracing immediately".
Same error message, but setup is visible. I repeat "Express installation", Result: nothing. Empty window.
My conclusion: I need to be instructed how to properly use RegFromApp or how to "properly" completely uninstall AHK.
Me thinks it is also possible that I get empty results because nothing needs to be written to the registry, since every entry is still there.
Sorry for negative results, I just report them as they happen over here.
