Send key not working in system account for first time

[re123]

Hi,

I am new to autoit.I need to pass the username in the dialog box and click "Next".

But whn i run the script for the first time in the system account, its not taking the username and script stops there.When i run again the script it takes the entry and works fine.

Why is it happening? How to resolve this issue?

I have pasted the part of the script how am passing the variable :

WinWaitActive ("Setup")

Send("$myvar{ENTER}")

Please let me know why is this happening..

Maybe try:

WinWaitActive("Setup")
Send($myvar)
Send("{ENTER}")

I don't use the double quotes when using a variable with the send command, because the variable is already returning a string.

Hi, re123. Can you please post the portion of your code that you're having problems with? My first question is what is the value of $myvar? Are you using the @UserName macro to gather this? If so, running as the System account is not going to pulled the logged in user's name. You'd have to do a conversion through a WMI call.

your code will never work, and its not because you

got the active window up that the cursor is positionned at

the right place...try this..

WinWaitActive("Setup")
MouseClick ("left", $x, $y, 1, 0)
Sleep (250)
Send($myvar)
Send("{ENTER}")

where $x and $y is the position of the entry box
