Reboot after install then resume script

[cotax]

Hi.

Is it possible to reboot afer installing alcohol120%, and after reboot that the script will resume the installation?

I searched the forum, found some french input but dont understand it, so i can only read the script.

It has something to do with register, but i dont have a clue how that works.

Is there anyone here who can help me?

I want to know how to resume installation after a reboot.

Thanks alot

I don't know of a registry method, buy you could have your script install something into the startup folder before it reboots then have the script in the startup folder delete itself after.

You can add an entry to the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce key before the reboot. It needs to be a REG_SZ the name doesn't matter, just give it some random name. The data should contain the path to your script. For example:

RegWrite("HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce", "after_alcohol", "REG_SZ", @ScriptFullPath)

This is an old script I made for Daemon Tools which maybe similar to Alcohol as they both use the SPTD driver which needs to be installed 1st, then reboots and then the main application installs. If similar, then you may need to use the "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" key to handle the main application install as the Alcohol120 registry entry maybe in the same key.

So you could call a function like this to add the registry entry to restart your script at the correct time when the desktop loads.

Func _RunOnce()
    ; Add 2nd part to installation.
    Local $key = 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce'
    RegWrite($key, '_Alcohol120', 'Reg_sz', '"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & @ScriptFullPath & '" /postrun')
EndFunc

Set the script to check for the /postrun switch on restart to handle the install as needed.
