Help with update automation

[shay]

Hi

i use AutoIt to uninstall and reinstall software,

i create this script on my test PC and it work OK (XP 32bit SPII),

but when testing it on the actual PC (XP 64Bit SPII) it didn't work, the script stuck on "close installation GUI".

i also try to replace it with "WinWaitActive" to detect the last installation window but it didn`t work on the actual pc also.

(this is a apart of the big script)

expandcollapse popup

$exe = "c:\automation_files\setup.exe"
$run=Run($exe)
    if $run = 0 Then
        MsgBox (16, "Automation", "Unable to locate Installation File, Exit Installation")
        Exit
    Endif
    ;focus in window
    WinActivate ("LU-1000")
    ;press key in GUI
    WinWaitActive("LU-1000")
    Sleep(1000)
    ControlClick('','', "&Next >")
    Sleep(1000)
    WinWaitActive("","Select Installation Folder")
    send("{TAB}")
    sleep(500)
    send("C:\Program Files (x86)\LiveU")
    sleep(500)
    ControlClick('','', "&Next >")
    ControlClick('','', "&Next >")
    winWaitActive("","Confirm Installation")
    controlClick('','', "&Next >")
    sleep(30000)

    ;close installation GUI
 Do
        WinActivate ("LU-1000")
        $handle = WinGetHandle("LU-1000","")
        sleep(1500)
        $wait = WinWait("LU-1000", "exit")
    Until $wait = $handle

    WinActivate ("LU-1000")
    sleep(2000)
    ControlClick('','', "&Close")
    send("{ENTER}")
    sleep(2000)

Hi.

This might be worth a try:

1.) address the window within your controlclick(), use controlclick("Title","WindowText",...)

2.) Read the help file, topic control. Try a different way to address the control you need to click.

(Autoit Help -> Autoit -> Using Autoit -> Controls)

the problem isn't the controlclik addressing, (I try that)

the script work flawlessly on XP32bit PC and on my other PC (64bit) its stuck,

unable to confirm that window exist,

is there any problem with running script on 64BIT machine?
