From the AutoIt HELP file:

Because AutoIt lacks a "FileRename" function, use FileMove to rename a file!

Wildcards are supported, looks like you are in luck. Something like...

FileMove( @ScriptDir & "\bla32*.exe", @ScriptDir & "\bla32.exe")

...run from the same directory containing the file should do the trick.

Good luck.

I'll say it after 5 days. Spot on
