jwsnlutz Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I am wanting to create a simple installation of an application I know how to use the autorecorder and some internal commands, but I was hoping to see if the following items are doable in autoit can I include the application in the compiled exe, (the RUN command dictates this now) the application might not be at a pre determined location) Could I build a selection gui to be able to select different application versions x32, x64 as examples, anybody a code example that will help me see this? any help and direction or example of code is greatly appreciated. I am using autoit version 3.3.6.1 Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 You want to include the application inside the AutoIT exe? Not to say you can't do everything with AutoIT, but there are other options out there like Advanced Installer and InnoSetup.

iamtheky Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 no gui need, just detect and install the applicable one If @OSARCH = "X86" Then FileInstall ("X86version" , "destination") ElseIF @OSArch = "X64" Then FileInstall ("X64version" , "destination") Else msgbox (0 , '' , "ummmmmm") Exit Endif run ("destination") ,-. .--. ________ .-. .-. ,---. ,-. .-. .-. .-. |(| / /\ \ |\ /| |__ __||| | | || .-' | |/ / \ \_/ )/ (_) / /__\ \ |(\ / | )| | | `-' | | `-. | | / __ \ (_) | | | __ | (_)\/ | (_) | | .-. | | .-' | | \ |__| ) ( | | | | |)| | \ / | | | | | |)| | `--. | |) \ | | `-' |_| (_) | |\/| | `-' /( (_)/( __.' |((_)-' /(_| '-' '-' (__) (__) (_) (__) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwsnlutz Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 not sure what should be placed in the run("destination") location the destination for the x32 and x64 makes since,, but shouldn't each OS have a run statement Can you fill in the specs as if it was in use for a certain application,, that would be helpful Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwsnlutz Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 cant get the au3 file compiled with the 'X86 version' in the code. it errors saying Error adding file: X86version If @OSARCH = "X86" Then FileInstall ("X86version", "c:\winzipx32.exe") Run('c:\winzipx32.exe') ElseIF @OSArch = "X64" Then FileInstall ("X64version" , "c:\winzipx64.exe") Run('c:\winzipx64.exe') Else msgbox (0 , '' , "InCorrect OS found") Exit Endif any ideas?

BrewManNH Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Is the name of the file you're installing called X86version? If not, then it won't FileInstall it. I'm guessing that it refers to the folder that the file is in, and not the actual file name. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

iamtheky Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) see the part where you get to specify the name of the destination file during fileinstall see the part where both my files get renamed to "destination" regardless of which one is dropped so I only need a single run statement because "destination" will be the correct file path and name, my script will work as posted provided the filenames are specified as such. Though the 'else' is probably unnecessary, i dont like leaving my statements without something to catch all else.

jwsnlutz Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 yes, ok, I see it now.. fileinstall is the exe to run and destination is assigned a variable to run later.. Thanks I compile this now and it seem the exe is the size of the application, but it still requires the application to be available in the installfile location for it to run.. I think the use of the x86 vs x64 selection is what I need, I can just make sure the source code in available to choose from and not make it part of the compiled code. Thank you very much for you help, I know I need a lot more, but this is a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheky Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) not a variable, its the destination path. I'm not quite understanding the last part, but below is an example of how our KBs are deployed If @OSVersion="WIN_XP" then ;if OS is xp then... FileInstall (".\XP\KBs.zip" , "c:\temp1\" , 1) ;copy the KBs.zip that is in the XP folder relative to the .au3 into c:\temp1 ElseIf @OSVersion="WIN_2008" then ;if OS is WIN_2008 FileInstall (".\SVR\KBs.zip" , "c:\temp1\" , 1) ;install the KBs.zip that is in the SVR folder relative to the .au3 into c:\temp1 Else ;if anything but XP or WIN_2008 tooltip ("Operating System not Supported, Exiting." , "" , "" , "KBrunner" , 3 , 4) ;display a message letting them know the os is not supported sleep (5000) ; wait so they can read the message exit EndIf After this, I have c:\temp1\KBs.zip. Which zip archive is deployed depends on the O/S, no need to risk letting the enduser select incorrect options.

jwsnlutz Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Thank you, that is very clear, Is it better to check OSVersion instead of @OSARch? I have mine setup like you list and when I compile, the EXE size grows to the combined size of the 2 files in the different fileinstall folders. not a problem if that is correct. I am following the code as you list with a Run("destination executable") command to go ahead and install the correct code based on OSVersion I appreciate the feedback,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
