Hi all i have made a autoit script to run a program that has no silent switchs. problem is it is very much dependant on screen postition so when it installing if the screen is slightly different postition it fails i dnt know if there a way to remove teh depndancy on teh screen postition but if there is here is the code

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
Run('Y:\apps\digiguide\digiguide.exe')
WinWait("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions","")
If Not WinActive("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions","") Then WinActivate("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions","")
WinWaitActive("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions","")
MouseMove(350,341)
MouseDown("left")
MouseUp("left")
WinWait("DigiGuide Setup - Destination","")
If Not WinActive("DigiGuide Setup - Destination","") Then WinActivate("DigiGuide Setup - Destination","")
WinWaitActive("DigiGuide Setup - Destination","")
MouseDown("left")
MouseUp("left")
WinWait("DigiGuide Setup Wizard","")
If Not WinActive("DigiGuide Setup Wizard","") Then WinActivate("DigiGuide Setup Wizard","")
WinWaitActive("DigiGuide Setup Wizard","")
MouseMove(367,329)
MouseDown("left")
MouseUp("left")

the program is digiguide so if anyone has got something workign for this that would do fine to

how would i do that? pretty new to this type of install

You should run it with @SW_HIDE flag, which hides installers window. Also, ControlClick () is way more better. Take a look in the help file or provide me with the installer and i'll write a script

@SW_HIDE
Run('Y:\apps\digiguide\digiguide.exe')
WinWait("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions","")
If Not WinActive("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions","") Then WinActivate("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions","")
WinWaitActive("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions","")
ControlClick("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions", "", "controlID [, middle [, 350 [, 341 ]]]")
WinWait("DigiGuide Setup - Destination","")
If Not WinActive("DigiGuide Setup - Destination","") Then WinActivate("DigiGuide Setup - Destination","")
WinWaitActive("DigiGuide Setup - Destination","")
ControlClick("DigiGuide Setup - Destination", "", "controlID [, middle [, 350 [, 341 ]]]")
WinWait("DigiGuide Setup Wizard","")
If Not WinActive("DigiGuide Setup Wizard","") Then WinActivate("DigiGuide Setup Wizard","")
WinWaitActive("DigiGuide Setup Wizard","")
ControlClick("DigiGuide Setup Wizard", "", "controlID [, right [, 367 [, 329 ]]]")

Here is the fixed code >

Run('Y:\apps\digiguide\digiguide.exe','',@SW_HIDE)
WinWait("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions","")
$process=WinGetProcess("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions")
If Not WinActive("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions","") Then WinActivate("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions","")
WinWaitActive("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions","")
ControlClick("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions", "", "controlID [, middle [, 350 [, 341 ]]]")
WinWait("DigiGuide Setup - Destination","")
If Not WinActive("DigiGuide Setup - Destination","") Then WinActivate("DigiGuide Setup - Destination","")
WinWaitActive("DigiGuide Setup - Destination","")
ControlClick("DigiGuide Setup - Destination", "", "controlID [, middle [, 350 [, 341 ]]]")
WinWait("DigiGuide Setup Wizard","")
If Not WinActive("DigiGuide Setup Wizard","") Then WinActivate("DigiGuide Setup Wizard","")
WinWaitActive("DigiGuide Setup Wizard","")
ControlClick("DigiGuide Setup Wizard", "", "controlID [, right [, 367 [, 329 ]]]")
While ProcessExists($process)
Sleep(100)
WEnd
Exit

Hope will work now. Also, "next" or "install" buttons are identified by a class and a instance. You can get this info by using AutoIT Window Info tool. For example, a button identified by class "Button" and instance "3" you'll run this, in order for that button to be clicked :

ControlClick("DigiGuide Setup - Terms and Conditions","","Button3")

Hope it helps !

It's impossible. Nothing is modified, but the parameter so it'll run with no window. Check that again

i found the error

'Y:\apps\digiguide\digiguide.exe' that was my bad because i was making the scritp from network share on virtual pc but that share doesnt exist in my network so i modified it to just the program name and it seems to be working fine
