Mohit Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hi guys i have created a script for a simple program VLC it works just fine the automation is perfect. but how can i make the setup screen dissapear like those done by the Sfxmaker software. i dont want to see the setup screens going automatically. is there a way that after creating the scrtipt i double click it and it installs silently(without any setup screens) like that posted on the net or made by the SFXmaker. Plss Help?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesch Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I'm not sure if I got it correctly. Do you want to install VLC or your program silently? If it's VLC, and the /S parameter won't match your needs, consider working with the files from the ZIP instead. Maybe I missed something, though.

Mohit Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 no for other softwares whose silent switches are nt available and have to be made using autoit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdFencer Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 If you run the install program then set the window state to @SW_HIDE using WinSetState, I believe you can still use OLE automation to get through the dialogues. _________[u]UDFs[/u]_________-Mouse UDF-Math UDF-Misc Constants-Uninstaller Shell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikesch Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 You could e.g. wait for a certain windows to exist, then hide it. Very simple example: Opt("wintitlematchmode",2) winwait("Firefox","") WinSetState("Firefox","",@sw_hide) sleep(5000) WinSetState("Firefox","",@sw_show) For popup windows, get the windows handle or class name instead of the title. Autoit help for WinSetState has quite a lot of useful hints (and hyperlinks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOSoft Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Most installers have a silent install option, all you have to do is figure out whose installer it is and use the proper switch. Try /Q, /silent, /s Also if you Google it there is a forum site dedicated to silent installs. If I come across where I have the link I'll post it. George Question about decompiling code?
