possible patch

Hi,

I found this as installer of adobe digital editions is failing in chocolatey.

First autohotkey is installed, i guess to press some button from license
agreement.

After that script tries to install adobe digital editions but fails at a line:

$ahkProc = Start-Process -FilePath 'AutoHotKey' `
    -ArgumentList $ahkRun `
    -PassThru

Autohotkey is never started as this fails. I tested on windows and then both:

Start-Process -FilePath 'AutoHotKey'
and
Start-Process -FilePath 'AutoHotKey.exe'
succeed.

In wine only the last one succeeds.

Attached a patch that fixes this; Maybe needs more error checking?
Hints for improvement welcome; 

Additional note: due to install-script for autohotkey following key is present:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\AutoHotkey.exe]
@="C:\\Program Files\\AutoHotkey\\AutoHotkey.exe"
