hello everybody the latest version of Outpost Firewall Pro 3.5 (build 638/457)
has just been released on the 9th i believe

im trying to make a silent installer otu of it, and so far its going kinda good but yet i ran into 1 little snag
first the good pints is that it uses a type on inno setup installer

so you can install it like this OutpostProInstall.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /NOICONS /NORESTART

but the problem is the (configuration wizard) pops up

does any body have any ideals on how to get around this ?

other then that it installs just fine

[ajua]

what is /NOICONS for? for avoid the shorcuts? or what? thanks.
i use myself outpost and will try to get the latest version working silently on my ua dvd. will let you know if i found something on the config wizard.

have you tried at the outpost forum in agnitum's website? i will look tonight.

the /NOICONS switch makes the installer not create desktop and quicklaunch shortcuts


btw .. the only way ive found to get around the configuration wizard was to use a custom autoit script with the
/VERYSILENT /SP- /NOICONS /NORESTART switches in it, its not the perfect solution but it works,

i've never used autoit but i already download it to try it with outpost. can you post your script to see if it helps me on it? thanks.

sure no worries,, hope this will help you out

name this what ever you want with the extension .au3 and then save it,, then compile it after youve edited it the way you like ,, change the time delay to suit your own needs

thanks. i think that the compile exe file should be along with OutpostProInstall.exe. am i correct?
i will install autoit tomorrow i begin my trainig thanks for your script. in my opinion outpost is the best firewall by far. i hate when all us computer magazines talk wonders about zonealarm. it isnt bad but i prefer outpost's ability to display all kinds of info on almost everything that is happening in your network.


later.

yes it should be along side the installer,, and yes i agree with you on it being the best, but thats just my opinion, each to there own huh

[CrashUK]

try it this way. this way it has to exit so the next program can install.. but 40 secs should do if it dont outpost should still install ok.

since we're already using autoit, why not make a way on scanning if a button is already clickable, instead of using a delay.

here's my autoit code which does it... thereby elimating the need of approximating a delay parameter (which may proove too slow on some fast pc's and too fast on slow pc's).

Quote

Run("OutpostProInstall.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /NOICONS /NORESTART")
WinWait("Configuration Wizard")
ControlClick ("Configuration Wizard", "", "Button5")

$e= ControlCommand("Configuration Wizard", "", "Button5", "IsEnabled", "")
While $e=0
$e= ControlCommand("Configuration Wizard", "", "Button5", "IsEnabled", "")
WEnd
ControlClick ("Configuration Wizard", "", "Button5")

ControlClick ("Configuration Wizard", "", "Button10")

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Agnitum\Outpost Firewall", "Key", "REG_SZ", "abcdefg")

interesting method,, ill have to test this out,, thanks

Yes, edmoncu's script works. Outpost gives an error message when you first start it up. But just dismiss the window. However, the registration code entry didn't work for me. I'm going to try the regedit /s command to write the entire Outpost registry entries, not just the registration number, and see if that solves the problem.

Try this (base on edmoncu's script,thanks!)

$title1 = "Configuration Wizard"
$title2 = "Outpost Firewall Pro Setup"
$key1 = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Agnitum\Outpost Firewall"
$sn_p1 = "sn part 1"
$sn_p2 = "sn part 2"
$sn_p3 = "sn part 3"
$sn_p4 = "sn part 4"
$sn_p5 = "sn part 5"

AdlibEnable("OPAdlib")
Run("Outpost.exe /LANG=en /SP- /SILENT /NORESTART")
WinWait($title1)
ControlClick($title1, "", "Button5")
$e = ControlCommand($title1, "", "Button5", "IsEnabled", "")
While $e = 0
$e = ControlCommand($title1, "", "Button5", "IsEnabled", "")
WEnd
ControlClick($title1, "", "Button5")
ControlClick($title1, "", "Button10")
RegDelete($key1, "RenewalDaysLeft")
RegWrite($key1, "Key", "REG_SZ", $sn_p1&@LF&$sn_p2&@LF&$sn_p3&@LF&$sn_p4&@LF&$sn_p5)
AdlibDisable()
Exit

Func OPAdlib()
Select
Case WinExists("Error")
WinClose("Error")
Exit
Case WinExists($title2, "Please select Exit")
WinClose($title2)
WinWait($title2)
ControlClick($title2, "", "Button1")
MsgBox(262144, "Outpost Firewall", "Outpost Firewall is already installed.", 3)
Exit
EndSelect
EndFunc
