pinball wrappers are not working

[I/O]

I have tried Howard_Casto's vp_launcher 5.0 and John Crouse's, with the errors shown, respectively.

I never figured them out.
If all you want is to do is get the pinball games to close, try AutoHotKey http://www.autohotkey.com/

I'm still a newb with it, but I got far enough to get it to run a script when windows starts that will post the esc key when I press a different one.
It worked for me when the hotkeys in Mala would not.

Thank you, although I would prefer something within the front end. I can not seem to find an option to turn it off (weird), but maybe those at VP forums would know.

I think the hotkeys in Mala are working. It seems in the case of VP only Vpinmame is being turned off.
