Possible issue: compiling with password in newer versions

[5ball]

I am setting up AHK_H on a new machine.

When I compile a script with the 'Encrypt' option in the AHK_H ahk2exe my scripts don't run. Instead they display 10 message boxes which concat a string, like:

a
aa
aaa
aaaF
aaaFF
...

before finally displaying an error.

The password in the AHK2EXE is the default 'AutoHotkey' and I am using the newest version straight from ahkdll-v1-release-master.

If I download the ahkdll-v1-release-master "commit 0d8d062 on Mar 5", this issue does not happen. If I compile with the Encryption option in this version everything works fine. So I assume this is some issue since one of the updates made to hide the password.

Did the default password change or something in the newest version? I hope I'm not missing something very obvious.

Thank you for your help!

Hi HotKeyIt,
i have the same problem with the version v1.1.33.02 after compiling with the encryption with my own password. Without encryption it work fine. Do you have an idea on how to fix the error?
here is the error that i have:
---------------------------
Case.exe
---------------------------
Error at line 0.

Line Text: PK�Xȫ
Error: This line does not contain a recognized action.

The program will exit.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Please try latest version (1.1.33.10)

Please try latest version (1.1.33.10)

Thanks HotKeyIt,
I'm trying to download this latest version on github https://github.com/HotKeyIt/ahkdll-v1-release but keep getting warning with my browsers and antivirus about virus. I know that it can be a false positive but i ask to be sure since i didn't get these warnings when i downloaded the older version. I can download it without worrying?

[HotKeyIt]

Try again, I recompiled it with C++17.

[necomerx]

Thanks, now download work without warning. I'll will try to compile with encryption and report back.

I try it with encryption but always get this error:
---------------------------
Case.exe
---------------------------
Line Text: PKaL#���
Error: This line does not contain a recognized action.

The program will exit.
---------------------------
OK

Can you try simple MsgBox script.

[necomerx]

The script that i used was a MsgBox script. When i enable the encryption and leave alone the default password it work like there was no encryption but if i enter my own password, i get the error.

[HotKeyIt]

Ok, got it, for your own password you have to recompile AHK_H with that password before you can use it!

[necomerx]

Understood. I will do that when i will start to use AHK_H, for now i'm using L and just putting an inputbox in the script does the trick. Thanks again HotKeyIt!
