Install v2 over v1
I wish it was as simple as the subject line. Anyway, I installed v1 and was going through tutorials and couldn't make them work. Since everything referenced v2 I installed it. I also installed SciTE4. Still, nothing worked. Now I have a mess since I uninstalled and reinstalled. I get messages that I was trying to run a script written in v1 and would I like to convert it. I'm about to reinstall but go through the registry and delete all autohotkey and scite4 references.
Any ideas that would keep me from doing that would be appreciated.
P.S. I'm not crazy about any of the tutorials I've used so far.

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum!
You need only three steps.
1. Uninstall all AutoHotkey.
2. Run the standard v1 installer. Use the default options.
3. Run the standard v2 installer. Use the default options.
You can now run both v1 and v2 scripts.

Re: Install v2 over v1
Thanks, but I don't care about v1.
When I right click on the desktop and click on new, there is an item for AutoHotKey script. I created an ahk file called newtest. When I right click on that file there is no "edit script". I guess I should reinstall scite4.

I don't use SCITE, but that's worth a try.

Well , I got it to work. I can create, edit, and execute script now.
Re: Install v2 over v1
Had v1 installed in to AutoHotkey (oct/2022) root, installing v2 was fine when scripts were manually associated with \v2\AutoHotkey64.exe, though weird stuff prompted uninstalling the lot. Running the installer for v2 again, with it picking up non-standard setup settings, after which the "silent" v1 install created a v1.1.37.01 folder, there were no issues!
