stev379 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 This is failing to overwrite the SofieAddIn.xla file. I've rewritten this trying to FileDelete, FileMove, DirDelete the whole directory and recreate, FileAttrib, but no luck. The DLL and the XLA both have the same attributes, but the dll gets overwritten no problem. Both are READ-ONLY and "File is ready for archiving" and "For fast searching, allow Indexing Service to index this file" are checked on both fiels. The return on the FileInstall for the XLA is always 0. The date and tested return date on the XLA is 2009/03/10. How can I overwrite or move or replace the XLA file? Thanks! expandcollapse popup$SofieDir = (@ProgramFilesDir & "\Sofie") $SofieAddIn = ("SofieAddIn.xla") $AspEncryptDLL = ("AspEncrypt.dll") If Not FileExists($SofieDir) Then DirCreate($SofieDir) ;AspEncrypt.dll installation If FileExists($SofieDir & "\" & $AspEncryptDLL) Then ;Check date $DLLt = FileGetTime($SofieDir & "\" & $AspEncryptDLL) $DLLyyyymd = $DLLt[0] & "/" & $DLLt[1] & "/" & $DLLt[2] If $DLLyyyymd <> "2009/5/14" Then Fileinstall("AspEncrypt.dll", $SofieDir & "\" & $AspEncryptDLL, 1) Sleep(3000) Run(@ComSpec & " /c regsvr32 /s " & $SofieDir & "\" & $AspEncryptDLL, "", @SW_HIDE) EndIf Else Fileinstall("AspEncrypt.dll", $SofieDir & "\" & $AspEncryptDLL, 1) Sleep(3000) Run(@ComSpec & " /c regsvr32 /s " & $SofieDir & "\" & $AspEncryptDLL, "", @SW_HIDE) EndIf ;SofieAddIn.xla add-in installation If FileExists($SofieDir & "\" & $SofieAddIn) Then ;Check date $t = FileGetTime($SofieDir & "\" & $SofieAddIn) $yyyymd = $t[0] & "/" & $t[1] & "/" & $t[2] If $yyyymd = "2010/5/25" Then Exit Else MsgBox(0,"", "$yyyymd = " & $yyyymd) MsgBox(0,"", "About to install " & $SofieDir & "\" & $SofieAddIn) FileSetAttrib("""C:\Program Files\Sofie\SofieAddIn.xla""", "-RA") FileDelete("""C:\Program Files\Sofie\SofieAddIn.xla""") $SofieAddInFILEINSTLL = FileInstall("SofieAddIn.xla", $SofieDir & "\SofieAddIn.xla", 1) MsgBox(0,"","$SofieAddInFILEINSTLL " & $SofieAddInFILEINSTLL) EndIf Else FileInstall("SofieAddIn.xla", $SofieDir & "\" & $SofieAddIn, 1) EndIf Sleep(5000) RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Options", "OPEN", "REG_SZ", """C:\Program Files\Sofie\SofieAddIn.xla""") RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options", "OPEN", "REG_SZ", """C:\Program Files\Sofie\SofieAddIn.xla""") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilertoaster Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 The Filedelete and setattrib have to many " marks, but they shouldn't be needed anyway. Are you running a compiled .exe or .au3 file? Have you checked @error? Is there an anti-virus preventing the script from deleting files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOSoft Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) eviltoaster noticed the same thing I did. You have variables holding the proper path but you still try to use the full path, that makes no sense at all.$SofieDir = (@ProgramFilesDir & "\Sofie") $SofieAddIn = ("SofieAddIn.xla") $AspEncryptDLL = ("AspEncrypt.dll") FileSetAttrib("""C:\Program Files\Sofie\SofieAddIn.xla""", "-RA") FileDelete("""C:\Program Files\Sofie\SofieAddIn.xla""") Else FileInstall("SofieAddIn.xla", $SofieDir & "\" & $SofieAddIn, 1) EndIf RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Options", "OPEN", "REG_SZ", """C:\Program Files\Sofie\SofieAddIn.xla""") RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options", "OPEN", "REG_SZ", """C:\Program Files\Sofie\SofieAddIn.xla""")Should be$SofieDir = @ProgramFilesDir & "\Sofie\" $SofieAddIn = "SofieAddIn.xla" $AspEncryptDLL = "AspEncrypt.dll" FileSetAttrib($SofieDir & $SofieAddIn, "-RA") FileDelete($SofieDir & $SofieAddIn) Else FileInstall("SofieAddIn.xla", $SofieDir & $SofieAddIn, 1) EndIf RegWrite("HKCU64\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Options", "OPEN", "REG_SZ", $SofieDir & $SofieAddIn) RegWrite("HKCU64\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options", "OPEN", "REG_SZ", $SofieDir & $SofieAddIn)Obviously those lines are not in their proper positions so you will have to find them in your script and make the changes.In fact I would change$SofieAddIn = ("SofieAddIn.xla") $AspEncryptDLL = ("AspEncrypt.dll")To$SofieAddIn = $SofieDir & "SofieAddIn.xla" $AspEncryptDLL = $SofieDir & "AspEncrypt.dll"Then make the appropriate changes in the code I just gave you. A few message boxes for testing can help you out as well.The last remaining item is, you can't delete a file that is in use by anything so make sure there are no open file handles and that the files are not currently in use by an application or service.EDIT: My prefered method of doing this would be to use a proper installer like Inno Setup to handle it all. It's a very simple script in Inno and if that file can't be changed because something has it locked you can have it replaced on restart and force (or not) the restart. There is even a File_in_use extension available for Inno. Edited June 9, 2010 by GEOSoft George Question about decompiling code? Read the decompiling FAQ and don't bother posting the question in the forums.Be sure to read and follow the forum rules. -AKA the AutoIt Reading and Comprehension Skills test.*** The PCRE (Regular Expression) ToolKit for AutoIT - (Updated Oct 20, 2011 ver:3.0.1.13) - Please update your current version before filing any bug reports. The installer now includes both 32 and 64 bit versions. No change in version number. Visit my Blog .. currently not active but it will soon be resplendent with news and views. Also please remove any links you may have to my website. it is soon to be closed and replaced with something else. "Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!"
