Is there a way to generate an AutoHotkeySC.bin from ...

Another strange question:

Is there a way to generate an AutoHotkeySC.bin from an AutoHotkey.exe or a CompiledScript.exe?

[Flipeador]

CompiledScript.exe is AutoHotkeySC.bin simply renamed.

Really? This would mean that a CompiledScript.exe could be renamed to AnAutoHotkeySC.bin and used to compile a script!?

[Flipeador]

Yes. I have not tried it, but it should work. If it doesn't, the "problem" is in the compiler.

Thank you very much, Flipeador!

Another question of same kind:

You can include AutoHotkey.exe in your compiled script and then extract it. For this you can use FileInstall or this Ahk2Exe version.

@Flipeador: However, to include a full AutoHotkey.exe would double the file size of CompiledScript.exe.

Just a reflection (of a newbie): I think an AutoHotkeySC.bin (or CompiledScript.exe) contains basically the same "components" as an AutoHotkey.exe. What is the difference in the "content" between these two build configuaration––or, more precisely, which component makes these build configurations behave differently? Is there no way to "convert" AutoHotkeySC.bin to AutoHotkey.exe?

They have several differences, I do not think it is something easy to achieve or worthwhile. The BIN file configuration ignores and changes several pieces of code.
