Installed this and gave it a try but am getting some issues (Win7-Pro-SP1).

Have setup my folders in the addon as follows:

XBMC: E:\XBMC Media Center\XBMC.exe
Steam: D:\Valve\Steam\Steam.exe

Running the script without any modifications except the paths above, does nothing except display the timeout on the screen for 5 seconds. XBMC does not quit as per default behaviour, and steam is not launched.

Using "Batch File Mode" does exactly the same.

Checking the xbmc.log showed me that the add-on still copies the script to %Appdata% even though I'm running portable, shouldn't you be specifying the "Home" folder as a XBMC variable for the current user's profile rather than assuming everyone is running stock? I created a symlink to get around that issue but was then greeted by the following error from the script:

[SteamLauncher-AHK.exe]
Error: Failed attempt to launch program or document:
Action: <C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe>
Params: <-bigpicture>

Specifically: The system cannot find the file specified.

Line# ---> 018: Run,%1% -bigpicture

The current thread will exit.

If the above is a pre-compiled exe, what's the point in specifying the paths in the add-on? If not, why is is looking for steam in Program Files when I've already told it the (differing) location? I have XBMC start automatically on boot using XBMCLauncher, which is also based off AHK I believe, so setting any kind of admin priviledges on XBMC is not possible without having to acknowledge them manually (UAC), which kinda breaks the immersion factor.
