WordPerfect X5 Unattended Install


Recommended Posts

I'd like to create an unattended install for WordPerfect X5.

I can't get it recognize the license screen. The code I have goes past the license screen. It must be recognizing the screen before the license screen which isn't showing long enough for me.

; Include User.INI Info
#include "IniRead.au3"

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
AutoItWinSetTitle(@ScriptName)
; AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDelay", 20)
AutoItSetOption("TrayIconDebug", 1) ;0-off
; Set so that tray displays current line number
If _OSVersion() = "Win7" Then
    $ProgramFiles = "C:\Programs\"
Else
    $ProgramFiles = "C:\Program Files\"
EndIf
Run('C:\Dnload\9xAddons\WordPerfect Office X5\Setup.exe')
WinWait("WordPerfect Office X5 - InstallShield Wizard","WordPerfect Office X5 Setup is preparing")
If Not WinActive("WordPerfect Office X5 - InstallShield Wizard","WordPerfect Office X5 Setup is preparing") Then WinActivate("WordPerfect Office X5 - InstallShield Wizard","WordPerfect Office X5 Setup is preparing")
WinWaitActive("WordPerfect Office X5 - InstallShield Wizard","WordPerfect Office X5 Setup is preparing")
;Sleep(300)
WinWait("WordPerfect Office X5 - InstallShield Wizard","Installing")
If Not WinActive("WordPerfect Office X5 - InstallShield Wizard","Installing") Then WinActivate("WordPerfect Office X5 - InstallShield Wizard","Installing")
WinWaitActive("WordPerfect Office X5 - InstallShield Wizard","Installing")
;Sleep(300)

;License Screen
WinWait("WordPerfect Office X5","Tab")
If Not WinActive("WordPerfect Office X5","Tab") Then WinActivate("WordPerfect Office X5","Tab")
WinWaitActive("WordPerfect Office X5","Tab")
Send("{TAB}{UP}{ENTER}")

WinWait("WordPerfect Office X5","Please enter your in")
If Not WinActive("WordPerfect Office X5","Please enter your in") Then WinActivate("WordPerfect Office X5","Please enter your in")
WinWaitActive("WordPerfect Office X5","Please enter your in")
Send($First)

Note this part:

>>>> Control <<<<
Class:  Internet Explorer_Server

That's an embedded instance of Internet Exploder. If you want to work with HTML elements of the page it's displaying, get an object reference with _IEAttach() using the "embedded" type, then use the other _IE* functions on it.

Thank you for the reply...

I have added the code.

#include <IE.au3>

$hHelp = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:HH Parent; TITLE:AutoIt Help]", "")
ConsoleWrite("$hHelp = " & $hHelp & @LF)

$oIE = _IEAttach($hHelp, "embedded")
If IsObj($oIE) Then
    $sHTML = _IEBodyReadHTML($oIE)
    ConsoleWrite("sHTML = " & $sHTML & @LF)
Else
    ConsoleWrite("Error attaching to IE")
EndIf

I have installed the DebugBar.

The IE Interpreted Source Code from DebugBar show this.

I don't know how to use the other _IE* functions.

How would I code it to put a check mark in the box by "I accept the terms in the license agreement."

and then click on the Next button?

Thank you,

Docfxit

You see the checkbox element has id=idCheckBox1, so _IEGetObjByName() to get an object reference to that element (ID is the same as Name for this purpose), then use _IEFormElementCheckBoxSelect() on it.

See help file. You're almost there!

Thanks for the help...

Did I do this correct?

$hHelp = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:HH Parent; TITLE:AutoIt Help]", "")
ConsoleWrite("$hHelp = " & $hHelp & @LF)

$oIE = _IEAttach($hHelp, "embedded")
If IsObj($oIE) Then
    $sHTML = _IEBodyReadHTML($oIE)
    $idCheckBox1Result = _IEFormGetObjByName ($s_name "idCheckBox1")
    $idCheckBox1Result2 = _IEFormElementCheckBoxSelect ($s_name = "idCheckBox1", $f_select = 1)
    $idNextResult = _IEFormGetObjByName ($s_name "idNext")
    $idNextResult2 = _IEFormImageClick ($o_object = "idNext")
    
    ConsoleWrite("sHTML = " & $sHTML & @LF)
Else
    ConsoleWrite("Error attaching to IE")
EndIf

Do I have enough?

Do I have too much in there?

What should I do for error reporting?

Thanks,

Bad syntax. You can't be doing this in SciTE or it would have pointed that out to you. Use SciTE, and run Tidy (Ctrl-t), and the syntax checker (Ctrl-F5) before posting any code on the forum.

When you provide parameters to a function, just supply the value, not the function's local variable name for it. For example, just "idCheckBox1", not $s_name = "idCheckBox1" in the function call.

When trying IE stuff, add _IEErrorHandlerRegister() to the top of your script and run it from SciTE (F5) to see any error messages in the console pane (bottom of the SciTE window).

On the actual IE stuff I may have lead you a little astray because that page doesn't use a FORM container. It has an IFrame but we don't care because the checkbox is not inside that frame. I don't have that app to test it with, but you might have to do things a little more directly:

#include <IE.au3>

_IEErrorHandlerRegister()

$hHelp = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:HH Parent; TITLE:AutoIt Help]", "")
ConsoleWrite("$hHelp = " & $hHelp & @LF)

$oIE = _IEAttach($hHelp, "embedded")
If IsObj($oIE) Then
    $oChkBx = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "idCheckBox1")
    If IsObj($oChkBx) Then
        ConsoleWrite("Before checked = " & $oChkBx.checked & @LF)
        $oChkBx.checked = True
        $oChkBx.fireEvent("onchange")
        $oChkBx.fireEvent("onclick")
        ConsoleWrite("After checked = " & $oChkBx.checked & @LF)
    Else
        ConsoleWrite("Error attaching to IE")
    EndIf
Else
    ConsoleWrite("Error attaching to IE")
EndIf

That's really super. Thank you for showing me how to write it.

I have tried running it. I'm having a problem that the script isn't waiting for the window to open.

Before this window is ready for input there are three other screens that come up during the unpacking and setup initializing phase.

How can I get the script to wait for the window?

Thank you,

WinWait(), see help file.

:mellow:

Thank you for the reply...

I can do WinWait("WordPerfect Office X5", "")

The problem is there is three other windows that pop up before this and they all match this WinWait(). None of them have any unique identifying text that I can see.

Is there some way I can use an If statement in a loop to wait for this window?

Thank you,

Docfxit

One way would be to keep track of the old window handles with the same title, and react when the new one showed up.

Another would be to watch for something else unique about the window. Are they all the same class, do they all have embedded IE? If so, does the IE doc in each have a unique title property? Etc.

When you visually look at the windows, how can you tell them apart?

The screens go by very quickly. I don't know how I could capture any information about them.

When I visually look at the windows I can tell them apart.

The first window says "WordPerfect Office X5 Setup is preparing"

The second window says "Installing"

If they don't stick around to clutter the desktop, they are irrelevant. All you need is unique identifying info for the one window you ARE interested in. How do you recognize that one? Use AU3Info.exe to examine the one you're interested in. If the class/title of the window is not unique enough, how does this "Installing" appear? What kind of control is it in? If it's not in visible text of the window, is it in an embedded IE instance? Flash object? What?

The info window is in post #1 in this thread. Can I wait for something there?

This example waits a max of 2 minutes for a window of the same class and title, which has an embedded IE containing an element called "idCheckBox1":

#include <IE.au3>

Global $iTimer, $aWinList, $hWnd = 0
Global $oIE, $oChkBx

; Wait max of 2 minutes for window
$iTimer = TimerInit()
While 1
    ; Check timeout
    If TimerDiff($iTimer) >= 120000 Then ExitLoop

    ; Get list of candidate windows
    $aWinList = WinList("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:WordPerfect Office X5", "")
    For $n = 1 To $aWinList[0][0]
        ; Test for embedded IE
        $oIE = _IEAttach($aWinList[$n][1], "embedded")
        If @error Then ContinueLoop

        ; Test for correct page
        $oChkBx = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "idCheckBox1")
        If IsObj($oChkBx) Then
            ; Check accept EULA
            ConsoleWrite("Debug:  Before checked = " & $oChkBx.checked & @LF)
            $oChkBx.checked = True
            $oChkBx.fireEvent("onchange")
            $oChkBx.fireEvent("onclick")
            ConsoleWrite("Debug:  After checked = " & $oChkBx.checked & @LF)
            
            ; Exit loop - found window
            $hWnd = $aWinList[$n][1]
            ExitLoop
        Else
            ContinueLoop
        EndIf
    Next

    Sleep(100)
WEnd

If $hWnd Then
    ControlSend($hWnd, "", "", "!n") ; Next
    MsgBox(64, "Success", "Success")
Else
    MsgBox(16, "Failed", "Did not find window")
EndIf

Notice it gets a list of windows that initially match class and title, then checks each in more detail to find the correct one.

:mellow:

Edit: Good point by GEOSoft below: It's hard to believe WordPerfect doesn't have a silent install available.

:P

A couple of tips

all versions of Installshield recognize the /s switch to do a silent install and you won't need to accept the agreement.

Go to this page, scroll down to InstallShield and learn how to create an answer file so you don't even have to enter the key code.

http://unattended.sourceforge.net/installers.php

You don't need this at all

If _OSVersion() = "Win7" Then
    $ProgramFiles = "C:\Programs\"
Else
    $ProgramFiles = "C:\Program Files\"
EndIf

Just use $ProgramFiles = @ProgramFilesDir & "\"

Thank you for the reply...

What @ProgramFilesDir gives me is "C:\Program Files (x86)"

Which is not what I want. That is a protected folder that programs can't write in. The reason I use "C:\Programs" is because it's not protected. It's a folder I create so that any program that is not Win7 savy can write into it.

Thanks,
