RegEdit Script Error

[Krazyk]

Hi, I am a complete newb to AutoIT3

I have done some VB back in the day, and recently found this sweet program, and figured WHY NOT.

Here is what I am doing. I constantly test things on my computer. Sometimes it cause my computer to be reformatted.

I am trying to make an AU3 Script that will launch a series of .reg files. I am using the following code

minus the :

:Shellexecute ("Enable1.reg")

:WINWAITACTIVE ( "Registry Editor")

:Send ("!")

:Send ("Y")

:Send ("{ENTER}")

:Exit

When it runs, the Registry Editor window pops up saying :

Adding information can unintentionally change or delete values etc.etc.

Are you sure you want to continue?

The send function does not seem to function, how do I fix this. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks in Advance

Welcolme to the forums !

Try another way

RunWait ( "regedit.exe /s Enable1.reg", @ScriptDir )

Good News is that the script runs, bad news is it doesnt apply the .reg file being called (from same location as script) to regedit.exe. In other words If I Try to disable my ipv6 by setting to 0, it leaves it at 1.

Also, this may be related or not, but how do i send the enter key. Trying to do a command for Glary Utilities Silent Installer....Send Command doesnt seem to work. Send ("{ENTER}") <--Is that right?

you must add winwait and winactivate before winwaitactive...

[Krazyk]

Would it look like this then?

Run("test.exe", /s)

WinWait ("Select Setup Language")

WinWaitActive("Select Setup Language")

Send ("{ENTER}")

Run("test.exe", /s)

WinWait ("Select Setup Language")

WinWaitActive("Select Setup Language")

Send ("{ENTER}")

you forget winactivate !

I Figured it out, I For some unseen reason must run every script as Administrator

(Currently Running Windows 7 64Bit)

Is their a Script out there for auto Elevating programs or scripts?

Never Mind, If I Compile the Script, and change the properties on it to run as admin. it launches right away. Not sure what i was thinking or doing... Thanks for the fast replys Wakillon

Use #RequireAdmin on the first line to have a script (compiled or not) request admin rights when running.

I just had to use this as well for something on Windows 7 due to Send() and ControlSend() not working without admin rights.
