jre.exe AutoIt install

[xytras]

Hello all!

I'm currently a new user with AutoIt. I have gone through a few of the tutorials. Currently I'm trying to do an AutoIt install with jre-6u16-windows-i586.exe. I started the script with this

Run("jre-6u16-windows-i586-s.exe")

jre-6u16-windows-i586-s.exe is located in the same directory as the .mu3

And nothing happens.. Any ideas?

try some error handling, what to do in case of error. the run function returns to you the ProcessID when it's successfull if it fails it sets @error to non zero. Here's how you could use this:

$pid = run("jreinstaller.exe")
if @error <> 0 then
    msgbox(0,"",$pid)
endif

I put that in the script but it looks like the .exe it's self wont install now lol one problem after the next.

Have you tried running the exe directly, without AutoIt? It may be that the exe is a bad copy.

I have successfully used the following:

RunWait('jre-6u16-windows-i586.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0 /L c:\jre6install.log"')

You can read more on the Sun jre silent install pages. The documentation is not great.
