Help writing install script

[mitchell2345]

Hi,

I am trying to write a script to install some software. Its giving me issues.

To explain the Wizard:

Opens up and decompresses the image, the title of the window is "Premier Integrated Teller Client - PTI1151 - InstallShield Wizard"

It the closes that window and runs a windows installer load screen.

Next it reopens the "Premier Integrated Teller Client - PTI1151 - InstallShield Wizard" window and does some more checking before the "next" button turns from grey to active. I cant get a way for AutoIT to wait for that Next button to become active.

Here is my script so far:

Run('C:\Documents and Settings\e042921\Desktop\PTI1151S.EXE')
WinWaitActive("[TITLE:Premier Integrated Teller Client - PTI1151 - InstallShield Wizard; INSTANCE:2]", "")
Send("{ENTER}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{SPACE}{TAB}{SPACE}{TAB}{SPACE}{TAB}{SPACE}{TAB}{SPACE}{TAB}{SPACE}{TAB}{SPACE}{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}{TAB}{ENTER}{SHIFTDOWN}dsmintell{SHIFTUP}02{TAB}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{TAB}{ENTER}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{SPACE}{TAB}{ENTER}{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}{ENTER}{ENTER}")

Screen shot of the final install with next active is in attachment.

Some window info:

Get the information of the Next button and use something like this:

Do
    $state = ControlCommand ($title, "", $ButtonInfo, "IsEnabled", "")
    Sleep (100)
Until $state = 1

Obviously you will have to fill in title and button info but this will make your script stop until that button is enabled. Look up ControlCommand in the help file for more information on it as well.

Look in the help file for _GuiCtrlListView_* and create some code yourself. The help file will show you examples and explain how to use everything that AutoIt can do.

[mitchell2345]

Im not really sure how I would use this. I am not making the gui but just trying to automate the install. _GUICtrlListBox_ClickItem seems interesting but what would i use for the Handle to control.

I'm a noob as well, but if you are utilizing the Recorder...does it not capture your down arrow key clicks. In other words...do not utilize your mouse while you are recording (keyboard only) and I think it should grab everything you need.

yea i tried that as well but it doesnt seem to work at all.

You're on the right track.

You can use:

$handle = ControlGetHandle ($title, "", $controlinfo)

To get the handle of the control and then pass that variable into the _GuiCtrl* command to do what you want. Those commands can be used even if you didn't create the GUI yourself.

[mitchell2345]

still not getting anywhere. this is the code I have so far. doest seem to effect the box:

$handle = ControlGetHandle ($title, "", 28487)

_GUICtrlListBox_ClickItem($handle, 8, "left", True)

Does this look like it would work? let me know if you need more control data from the window.
