Prerequisites

  • I have written a descriptive issue title.
  • I have searched all issues/PRs to ensure it has not already been reported or fixed.
  • I have verified that I am using the latest version of Scoop and corresponding bucket.

Package Name

autohotkey

Expected/Current Behaviour

Install as a portable app in \scoop\apps\autohotkey without error

Steps to Reproduce

PS C:\> scoop bucket add extras
Checking repo... OK
The extras bucket was added successfully.
PS C:\> scoop install autohotkey
Installing 'autohotkey' (2.0.10) [64bit] from extras bucket
AutoHotkey_2.0.10.zip (2.9 MB) [==============================================================================] 100%
Checking hash of AutoHotkey_2.0.10.zip ... ok.
Extracting AutoHotkey_2.0.10.zip ... done.
Running installer script...

Then a pop-up:
---------------------------
AutoHotkey
---------------------------
It looks like you've used an unsupported method to set the default program for .ahk files. This will prevent the standard context menu and launcher (version auto-detect) functionality from working. Would you like this setting to be reset for you?
---------------------------
Yes   No   
---------------------------

The console is locked until user input for the popup

I have to run scoop as Administrator for reasons - not sure if it is related.

Possible Solution

Every other scoop app I have ever installed are basically portable apps without any registry etc. added, so I am confused why this package is different. Why not just take out the post install script, etc. completely and just have it living as a portable app, shim'd if need be
