Building Thorium-WinUpdater.exe

Building this project requires AutoHotKey 1.1.
AutoHotKey is a free and open-source custom scripting language for Microsoft Windows, for creating simple applications, macros, or (as the name implies) custom, OS level keyboard shortcuts.

Optionally, Resource Hacker can be installed to remove all unused icons from the built executable.

The .ahk file is the main script.
The PS1 files are PowerShell scripts for adding/removing a scheduled task that runs the updater.
The .ico files are used in the UI of the final .exe

Ahk2Exe.exe is used to bundle and convert these files into a single executable.

You can install AutoHotKey (and Resource Hacker), then run build.bat from within the repo. It assumes that AutoHotKey and Resource Hacker are installed to the default location.
