That doesn't seem to happen with AutoHotkey. If your app is just a couple of buttons that run external commands then that kind of thing isn't going to change between interpreter versions.

You can easily replicate .bat functionality with AHK. AHK is absolute genius; simple, fast, portable, and the ability to compile the script to .exe is flatout awesome.

Compiled size starts around 200KB-220KB, which consists of the ahk interpreter and the script, and a dll that you can strip out and save 30KB if you really want to - but for the purpose of the OP you wouldn't as it would risk the portability, and AHK is fantastic - it's basically the .bat mentality for the win32 world with a few tweaks and prettier interface.
