Cannot find AHKv2 if only AHKv1 is in path #378

describe your issue

I had an end user who I believe had AHKv1 in their path, but did not have v2 in their path. This lead to an error
"AutoHotkey v2 was request but AutoHotkey v1 was detected for executable C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\Autohotkey.exe"

Explicitly specifying the executable path with r'C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\v2\AutoHotkey64.exe' worked.
I think this is the relevant line of code is:

or which('AutoHotkey.exe')

ahk.version

1.7.8

AutoHotkey version

v2

Code to reproduce the issue

from ahk import AHK
ahk = AHK(
    version='v2'
)
