Ninite-Silent

Recommended Posts

There is a great tool called ninite (www.ninite.com).

The only problem is that it is not really 'silent'.

So I wrote this little script to make it (almoast) silent (like /S or /Silent or /quiet)

Just rename the downloaded 'Ninite ....... exe' into 'Ninite.exe' and place it into the same folder as the Ninite-silent.exe (my AutoIt prg) Run it and that's it !

 

Download or here

Enjoy

Perhaps instead of using RunAs in the script in the script (which may make the process ran as a different user to the script), try running the script as  "Run as Administrator" or "Run as different user" as shows under Win7 in the context menu. The latter may need the shift key held down while initiating the context menu. I have not used ninite though would expect it needs to have admin privileges to do the installs.
 
If you want RunAs in your script, then try restarting the script with RunAs.

Perhaps this may do it. You may need to change details for the RunAs function.

If Not $CMDLINE[0] Then
    RunAs('username', 'domain', 'password', logon_flag, '"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & @ScriptFullPath & '" /restart')
    If @error Then MsgBox(0x30, @ScriptName, 'Failed RunAs')
ElseIf $CMDLINE[1] = '/restart' Then
    ShellExecute('"' & @ScriptDir & '\Ninite.exe"')
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0x30, @ScriptName, 'Failed to execute "' & @ScriptDir & '\Ninite.exe"')
        Exit 1
    EndIf
    ;
    While 1
        If Not ProcessExists('Ninite.exe') Then Exit 1
        WinSetTrans ( "Preparing", "", 0 )
        WinSetTrans ( "Ninite", "", 0 )
        $text = WinGetText("Ninite", "")
        If StringInStr($text, "Finished.",1) Then
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
        Sleep(500)
    WEnd
    Sleep(1000)
    ControlClick("Ninite", "", "[ID:2]")
Else
    MsgBox(0x30, @ScriptName, 'Only /restart parameter is accepted')
EndIf

Damn those students are annoying! The reason I dont want to show ninite running is that there is a link to the website in the program. And when they click on that link they use my credentials for the internet. So they can youtube facebook etc. 

Now they already figured out the position of the mouse and that they have to click the link within less then a second before the screen vanishes. If they fail to click it within that second they logoff and try again. 

Is there a way to block mouse input or a way to disable that linkbutton?

I did this, its not ideal but it works... If anyone knows a better solution, I'm all ears.

If Not $CMDLINE[0] Then
    RunAs('username', 'domain', 'password', logon_flag, '"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & @ScriptFullPath & '" /restart')
    If @error Then MsgBox(0x30, @ScriptName, 'Failed RunAs')
ElseIf $CMDLINE[1] = '/restart' Then
    ShellExecute('"' & @ScriptDir & '\Ninite.exe"')
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0x30, @ScriptName, 'Failed to execute "' & @ScriptDir & '\Ninite.exe"')
        Exit 1
    EndIf
    ;
    While 1
        BlockInput(1)
        If Not ProcessExists('Ninite.exe') Then Exit 1
        WinSetTrans ( "Preparing", "", 0 )
        WinSetTrans ( "Ninite", "", 0 )
        $text = WinGetText("Ninite", "")
        If StringInStr($text, "Finished.",1) Then
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
        Sleep(500)
        BlockInput(0)
    WEnd
    Sleep(1000)
    ControlClick("Ninite", "", "[ID:2]")
Else
    MsgBox(0x30, @ScriptName, 'Only /restart parameter is accepted')
EndIf

Jorin,

That may work. I would put the BlockInput(0) after the WEnd. Keep the BlockInput(1) in the loop or just before the loop may be safer.

Another idea could be to move the window off screen. You cannot click something off screen with the mouse. You can even send the mouse in the opposite direction so that split second would prove to be a challenge for them. The WinWaitDelay set at 10 will make detection quite fast so the move will be almost in an instant.

Removed

See how that works with testing. Perhaps even a mixture of both ideas. :)

I am getting a 403 Forbidden from their site to download the installer so I cannot even check it for myself.

Edit: Use code in next post

I downloaded a Ninite package to test. Seems cookies in my browser was causing the issue with the 403.

The Prepare window is the 1st window to show so that is the one to wait for. The windows will be moved to just outside of the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

; found in @ScriptDir
$installer = 'Ninite.exe'

If Not $CMDLINE[0] Then
    RunAs('username', 'domain', 'password', logon_flag, '"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & @ScriptFullPath & '" /restart')
    If @error Then MsgBox(0x30, @ScriptName, 'Failed RunAs', 5)
ElseIf $CMDLINE[1] = '/restart' Then
    Opt('WinWaitDelay', 10)
    ShellExecute('"' & @ScriptDir & '\' & $installer & '"')
    If @error Then Exit MsgBox(0x30, @ScriptName, 'Failed to execute "' & @ScriptDir & '\' & $installer & '"', 5)
    MouseMove(0, 0)
    WinMove(WinWait("Preparing"), "", @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight)
    While 1
        If Not ProcessExists($installer) Then Exit 1
        WinSetTrans ("Preparing", "", 0)
        WinSetTrans ("Ninite", "", 0)
        WinMove("Ninite", "", @DesktopWidth + 5, @DesktopHeight + 5)
        WinMove("Preparing", "", @DesktopWidth + 5, @DesktopHeight + 5)
        If WinExists("Ninite", "Finished.") Then ExitLoop
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
    Sleep(1000)
    ControlClick("Ninite", "Finished.", "Button1")
Else
    MsgBox(0x30, @ScriptName, 'Only /restart parameter is accepted', 5)
EndIf

I did not test BlockInput though you can add them perhaps outside the loop. :)

Edit: changed a WinSetTrans to 0
