This usually happens when the downloaded file is incomplete, blocked by your antivirus, or because extracting the installer with 7-Zip removes important file properties. Before trying the solutions below, make sure:
You downloaded the installer from the official AutoHotkey website.You have administrator privileges.Your internet connection is stable.
If the issue persists, try these fixes:
1. Disable Antivirus Temporarily
Sometimes antivirus programs mistakenly block installers. Turning it off for a few minutes can let the setup run smoothly. Remember to turn it back on after installation.
2. Install Using Command Prompt
This method skips 7-Zip completely and downloads the installer directly.
3. Download and Run Installer Directly
The easiest fix is to run the installer without extracting it.
