Newly installed AutoHotkey V2 and SciTE4Autohotkey
cannot run a simple "Hello World" script.
actual executable is in
C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\v2\AutoHotkey.exe
But SciTE is looking in
C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe
I have spent nearly an hour searching 1) Sci app Options 2), Tools 3) the internet 4) chatgpt etc. I am about to give up.
Here is the entire program, which compiles successfully.
;@Ahk2Exe-Base C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\v2\AutoHotkey64_UIA.exe
msgbox "hello"
Actual Error message.
> "C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe" /ErrorSdOut "c:\aaatmp\myMsbox.ahk"
'C: \Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

you are missing quotes. the error suggests the space between program an files messes it up. do not forget to thank ms for sticking a space in one of the most frequently used file path. kick me if you think “program files” is a more fitting name than “programs”.
I never entered those file locations, they came when the SciTE software was installed.
But wrapping the name in quotes will not help
because the .exe is absolutely at AutoHotkey\v2\AutoHotkey64_UIA.exe
whereas the software thinks it is at AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey64_UIA.exe
Even worse , I cannot find the setting where I can overkey the names. In fact that is the entire purpose of the question!!
t would be great if someone could give me a screen shot showing where that setting can ACTUALLY be changed? I have already chased several suggestions from chatgpt, and they were wild goose chases.
I don't use either AHK V2 (only a V1 fan) or SciTE (not an IDE fan for anything), so I can't help with personal experience, but maybe this thread at the AutoHotkey forum will help:
