I just posted this on the forum for AutoIt. Thought it should be cross posted.
===================================

I just installed AutoIt3, no problems.
=================
Configuring TextPad (4.7.2) for use with AutoIt3:

Created Class and File Filters in TextPad
Installed TextPad Syntax file for AutoIt version 1.
Created Tool in TextPad to run current script.
Discovered Extra\Editors\TextPad tools under AutoIt.

Installed newer syntax file and Clip Library using "_install_syntax_files.au3"
Discovered inconvenience #1:

My default paths for Syntax and Class Libraries had previously been modified.
The au3 script appears to write to the registry directly vs. checking for User Defined path. I was able to move the files to the folders where I wanted them, but think it would be better if a check was done to use User Define Paths for these two files. Classify this as an inconvenience vs. a bug. Suggestion for future enhancement.
===================

Installed KeyHH and tried to create Tool for Selected Sensitive Help.
Ran into problem #1: No KeyHH.exe file

Downloaded KeyHH from their site, and installed.
Instructions call to use KeyHH.exe, but no such file exists. What I do get is KeyHH.its which I copied to the C:\Program Files\AutoIt3 folder. I entered KeyHH.its vs. KeyHH.exe as the Command.
I entered -#klink $SelWord "C:\Program Files\Autoit3\AutoIt.chm" for the parameter.
I cleared out Initial Folder setting of $FileDir
I selected a command in the au3 file, activated the tool, and my browser opened but came back with message "This Page Cannot Be Displayed". The URL only shows http://./

Is there a step missing to convert KeyHH.its to KeyHH.exe? Have they changed their file content? What do I need to do to use this? This one is not an inconvenience, it is an instructional bug at this point.

(I thought I saw a reference to a Help file for KeyHH, but cannot find it.....it maybe was an MSDN file at time of HHKey installation....may have to reinstall to find it again).

Thanks for your help.....

PS - Am crossposting this on TextPad Forum also.

I was really confused, too, when I ran the installer a few weeks ago.
For me, the file installed to c:\windows\keyHH.exe

By the way, keyHH might not be needed. Trids, who is a memeber of both TextPad's and AutoIt's forums, posted the keyHH info for use with an older version of TextPad. Trids said he didn't know that TextPad 4.7.2 supported a special help-command type until he upgraded the other day. Send a PM to Trids via AutoIt's forum and I'm sure he'll be happy explain help file setup.

Thanks CyberSlug, no PM will be needed.

I should have done a Find for KeyHH.exe. Like yours, I found it in the Windows folder. Changed the command line in Tools, and it works fine.

Did not have to move it to the AutoIt folder since it is already in the Path.

Perhaps the install instructions should be modified slightly to help others in the future?

Thanks again for your help, looking forward to this new tool......
