goodbyeplanet Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 for example i have the code below which installs windows search. where would i put the code to continue installation of another application afte r it reboots? Thank you. WinWaitActive("Setup for Windows Search") Sleep(500) Send("!s") send("!w") WinWaitActive("Setup for Windows Search","herzlich willkommen") sleep(500) send("{ENTER}") shutdown (6) In summary thie code does this: Installs a package. Reboots Installs another package. Reboots Installs another package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trancexx Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) If you want to run your script with different input parameters then you have to specify them as input parameters. There is no such thing as continuing execution after reboot. Execution starts from the beginning (with different parameters). Open help file and search "Running Scripts". If you would have questions then, ask (then). Edited October 25, 2010 by trancexx ♡♡♡ . eMyvnE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodbyeplanet Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 There is no such thing as continuing execution after rebootI didnt know its an impossible task. Thanks for clarifying. I also checked running scripts in the help file but it doesnt seem to explain clearly.i forgot to mention that in my code I check first my log file if current application value has been set to YES which means installation DONE. If this value is YES then application does not install but instead moves down and searches for another uninstalled application. my only problem is those applications that need a restart and then contiuning with others after reboot.

You are misinterpreting. There are applications that require restart to complete the un-instalation process (removing those files that were 'locked'). This can be done anytime in the future, doesn't have to be immediately. Usually the job is left for the system to finish on reboot by writing to registry.

UEZ Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I would do it this way: Start program with parameter 1: MyApp.exe 1 Within the script check the parameter and execute your subroutine 1 Create a new string in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce -> MyApp.exe 2 to execute function 2 after reboot. etc. I hope it helps.

Usually the job is left for the system to finish on reboot by writing to registry.So this means that I can autoinstall all the applications , (almost 20 in my case) and ignore where it says restart and then do a single restart once all of them have been installed? in fcat three quarters of my applications dont need a restart except for 3 of them. so if i ignore the option to restart, and then do the restart all at once after all applications have been installed, will it not cause any problems...

trancexx Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) There shouldn't be any problems. Unless there are some strange dependencies. Edited October 25, 2010 by trancexx ♡♡♡ . eMyvnE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powder123 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Jos,In your example what does this line mean:RunAs($Userid, @ComputerName, $Psw, Default,"notepad.exe step1.txt")I'm trying to install an application that requires a reboot.Thanks for the help.Manny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted February 18, 2011 Developers Share Posted February 18, 2011 Did you read the comment line above this RunAs() ? It is just and example runas() statement were you should put your logic of the first step when the script is initial ran.
