Terminate Script if program closes

[MrSheen]

Hello

I've been using the below script to always answer a pop-up box, just cant seem to get it to terminate as soon as program (installrite.exe) closes.

Run("C:\Program Files\Epsilon Squared\InstallRite\InstallRite.exe")
If $CmdLine[0] = 1 and $CmdLine[1] = '/QUIT' Then
    WinClose('InstallRite')
Else
    AutoItWinSetTitle('InstallRite')

    While 1=1
        WinWait("InstallRite 2.5c","Are you sure you wan")
        Send("{ENTER}")
    WEnd
EndIf

Tried to include (If ProcessExists),(If ProcessWaitClose),(If WinExists) and Sleep etc but the script does not terminate when the program is closed.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks

If I understand correctly, once your script enters:

While 1=1 
  WinWait("InstallRite 2.5c","Are you sure you wan") 
  Send("{ENTER}") 
WEnd

the script will never leave the loop. If you only expect the popup once, you could try:

WinWaitActive(("InstallRite 2.5c","Are you sure you wan") 
Send("{ENTER}")

Once the script has answered, it can drop through and exit.

The program asks "do you want to delete?" all the time (so much, they should have had a option to turn that annoying box off), so that script works very well for that purpose but just cant get it to close when the program finishes being used.

Thanks for replying

Did you try to change 1=1 to ProcessExists("InstallRite.exe")?

While ProcessExists("InstallRite.exe")
        WinWait("InstallRite 2.5c","Are you sure you wan")
        Send("{ENTER}")
WEnd

Replaced 1=1 to ProcessExists("InstallRite.exe") and script was still running after installrite was close, so tried the other one you posted but again script does not close when installrite.exe closes.

If Process exists then it will wait till window "InstallRite 2.5c" will active, if the process ends when it is waiting your program won't close. Sorry but I'm leaving now so I cannot provide a working script to you, I'll be back later.

If $CmdLine[0] = 1 and $CmdLine[1] = '/QUIT' Then
    WinClose('InstallRite')
Else
    AutoItWinSetTitle('InstallRite')
    While ProcessExists("InstallRite.exe")<>0
        WinWait("InstallRite 2.5c","Are you sure you wan")
        Send("{ENTER}")
    WEnd
EndIf

Ok, try this "while", this should works:

While ProcessExists("InstallRite.exe")
   If WinExists("InstallRite 2.5c","Are you sure you wan") Then
      WinActivate("InstallRite 2.5c","Are you sure you wan"); Just to be sure that you get the focus to send the enter
      Send("{ENTER}") 
      Sleep(100)
   Else
      Sleep(100)
   EndIf
WEnd

Run("C:\Program Files\Epsilon Squared\InstallRite\InstallRite.exe")
If $CmdLine[0] = 1 and $CmdLine[1] = '/QUIT' Then
    WinClose('InstallRite')
Else
    AutoItWinSetTitle('InstallRite')
    While ProcessExists("InstallRite.exe")<>0
        If WinWait("InstallRite 2.5c","Are you sure you wan", 1) Then Send("{ENTER}")
    WEnd
EndIf

The problem is that the script was stopping on WinWait after the program was gone. Timeouts solve this.

Hey man im not sure if everyone else missunderstood you or if i did lol but give this a try and let me know if it helps

Run("C:\Program Files\Epsilon Squared\InstallRite\InstallRite.exe")
If $CmdLine[0] = 1 and $CmdLine[1] = '/QUIT' Then
    $pid = ProcessExists("InstallRite.exe")
    ProcessClose($pid)
Else
    AutoItWinSetTitle('InstallRite')
    While 1
        if WinActive("InstallRite 2.5c","Are you sure you wan") = 1 Then
            Send("{ENTER}")
            Sleep(1000)
        Else
            $pid = ProcessExists("InstallRite.exe")
            if $pid = 0 then
                exit
            EndIf
        EndIf
    WEnd
EndIf
