Hi,

I have used this guide to create a autoit script for Pinnacle studio 9. If i start it manually from the desktop or whereever then it starts to install and works just fine but as soon as i add the whole thing in WPI to install it just starts the installer and then hangs. Does someone perhaps know what this problem can be?

I added the script as attachment here.

Tnx in advance

Yagermeister,

This is your script optimized some.

$SF_1 = "Welcome.exe"

If WinExists ( $SF_1 ) Then Exit
AutoItWinSetTitle ( $SF_1)

Run('Welcome.exe')
_WinWaitActive("Studio 9 Plus - InstallShield Wizard","Select the language ")
Send("{UP}{ENTER}")
_WinWaitActive("Studio 9","Geef de volgende inf")
Send("{TAB}blaat{TAB 3}XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX{TAB 3}{SPACE}{TAB 11}{ENTER}")
_WinWaitActive("Studio 9	(Pinnacle Systems - Registratie)","")
Send("{TAB 5}{ALTDOWN}{ALTUP}{DOWN 2}{ENTER}")
_WinWaitActive("Installatie van Windows XP , Version 9.3","Licentieovereenkomst")
Send("{TAB 4}{SPACE}{TAB 3}{ENTER}")
_WinWaitActive("Installatie van Windows XP , Version 9.3","Selecteer het type i")
Send("{ENTER}")
_WinWaitActive("Installatie van Windows XP , Version 9.3","Huidige instellingen")
Send("{ENTER}")
_WinWaitActive("classname=#32770","Bezig met installere")
Send("{PAUSE 5}")
_WinWaitActive("Vraag","Moet er een shortcut")
Send("{ENTER}")
_WinWaitActive("Installatie van Windows XP , Version 9.3","Ja, ik wil mijn comp")
Send("{DOWN}{ENTER}")

Func _WinWaitActive($title, $text = "")
	WinWait($title, $text)
	If Not WinActive($title, $text) Then
		WinActivate($title, $text)
	EndIf
	WinWaitActive($title, $text)
EndFunc

An issue is that you are using a classname for a window title without setting an option to use them as below.

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4)

With that window title, I'm not even sure if you should have it within the script and you just press the (PAUSE) keys 5 times? The classname title looks like an explorer window which you can just use WinClose on. I would assume by looking at it that the rest does looks normal.

Make sure that a window called "Welcome.exe" is not running when you start your script as it will exit as your first few lines will ensure that.

If possible, you may find it better to use AutoItMacroGenerator to generate a script for installations using Control*() functions. AutoItMacroGenerator is an included tool in CMenu, SendToA3X, or the Scite4AutoIt3 editor.

Edit:
SendToA3X v1.1 has now an item to tidy Au3Recorder generated scripts like the above code as shown above as easy as a wink.

I have a question about silent installs maked with Autoit Scite Script Writer.

Is it possible that you don't see the install screen?

No it isn't, the only way to do that is by compleatly rewriting the installation package.

when I launched au3record I must flag also 'record mouse' as if I unflag it, after stopping au33record, I obtain only following lines:
Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
Run('D:\Sotware indispensabili\WinRAR.v3.71.Regged.Italiano-YAG\WinRAR.v3.71.Regged.Italiano-YAG\wrar371it.exe')


meanwhile if I flag 'record mouse' I obtained all script as follow:
Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
Run('D:\Sotware indispensabili\WinRAR.v3.71.Regged.Italiano-YAG\WinRAR.v3.71.Regged.Italiano-YAG\wrar371it.exe')
WinWait("WinRAR 3.71","Copyright © 1993-200")
If Not WinActive("WinRAR 3.71","Copyright © 1993-200") Then WinActivate("WinRAR 3.71","Copyright © 1993-200")
WinWaitActive("WinRAR 3.71","Copyright © 1993-200")
MouseMove(215,381)

WinWait("Configurazione WinRAR","Associa a WinRAR arc")
If Not WinActive("Configurazione WinRAR","Associa a WinRAR arc") Then WinActivate("Configurazione WinRAR","Associa a WinRAR arc")
WinWaitActive("Configurazione WinRAR","Associa a WinRAR arc")

WinWaitActive("Configurazione WinRAR","WinRAR è stato insta")
MouseMove(251,389)
MouseDown("left")

WinWait("WinRAR","FolderView")
If Not WinActive("WinRAR","FolderView") Then WinActivate("WinRAR","FolderView")
WinWaitActive("WinRAR","FolderView")
MouseMove(783,14)
MouseDown("left")
MouseUp("left")


where is my mistake?
can you help me?
thank in advanced
dottBin

[chyronn]

you need to make sure the "Record Window Text" option is ticked and "Record Mouse" is unticked

[dottbin]

thanks chyronn for your answer.
Anyway I found my mistake: during installation I used mouse instead of keyboard

now I wolud like to hide installation screen during installation. Any suggestion?

BR,
Gianni

[simurqq]

See above for Plamdi's post. I've personally tried to hide setup windows for countless number of times - no way!!!

[chaoticyeshua]

If it's that big of a deal, you could always just move the window off screen using something like this:

WinWait("Title","Text")
WinMove("Title","Text",-1000,-1000)

This way it'll wait for the window to exist, then move it off of the screen where it is no longer visible. It will show for a split second, then be moved.

hi, whats the second progarm link not workin?
cheers james

[dcduque]

Thank you! It is very useful to me, I already tried it but did not work, I guess there's some information on the images that I can't see, why can't I see the pictures?

Another thing, I am using Windows 7 (x64) it seems to have an incompatibility error with Scite, so I had to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) and copy msvcr100.dll from C:WindowsSysWOW64 to C:WindowsSystem32 and it worked in case anyone has the same problem.

By the way, the error I am having is that the line which executes the installer replaces the actual name of the installer for the name of the script. I would appreciate it if anyone knows what I should do, thanks.
