need help on autoIT install software on windows

[callmejon]

hi all

im very new to AutoIT. a few questions

1. i know a bit python, is it possible to use python to do scripting and put out EXE file. i think there is somthing call autoitX

2. i try to auto run a few setup, in the small office

one software called PDF SAM, i have try to capture via autoit recorder.

however in its last 2nd step after the install all the files. i think the it hit the ALT+ N too quickly before it appears.

therefore i got stuck on the next window and once i click on "next". Autoit will auto click on finish for me

any ideas?

thanks

Run('Setup.exe')

_WinWaitActivate("Installer Language","Please select the la")

Send("{ENTER}")

_WinWaitActivate("pdfsam Setup","")

Send("{ALTDOWN}n{ALTUP}")

_WinWaitActivate("pdfsam Setup","")

Send("{ALTDOWN}a{ALTUP}")

_WinWaitActivate("pdfsam Setup","")

Send("{ALTDOWN}a{ALTUP}{ALTDOWN}n{ALTUP}")

_WinWaitActivate("pdfsam Setup ","")

Send("{ALTDOWN}n{ALTUP}{ALTDOWN}i{ALTUP}")

sleep(4000)

_WinWaitActivate("pdfsam Setup","")

Send("{ALTDOWN}n{ALTUP}")

_WinWaitActivate("pdfsam Setup","")

Send("{ALTDOWN}f{ALTUP}")

PDF SAM includes a silent install option, although it is not completely silent.

Run(@comspec & "/c c:pathtoinstallersetup.exe /S")
_WinWaitActivate("Installer Language","Please select the la")
Send("{ENTER}")

thanks agreiner, for this.

just a thought, if there is no slient install option for the next software i find. is there a different option than sleep() ?

thanks
