I'm trying to automate an installation using Autoit, however i'm stuck on a windows within the installation. The window have two buttons: Install and close, after i click install the installation will start and disables the two buttons but when is done the Close button is active again in the same windows but my code is not able to click the button.

WinWaitActive ("Window", "Please select to install")

Send ("!i")

WinWait ("Window", "")

ControlClick("Window", "", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:Close; INSTANCE:2")

Please help!!!

It may work with this function - ControlCommand. Try it like this (not tested).

WinWaitActive ("Window", "Please select to install")
Send ("!i")
Sleep(100)
Do
 Sleep(100)
Until ControlCommand("Window", "", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:Close; INSTANCE:2", "IsEnabled")
ControlClick("Window", "", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:Close; INSTANCE:2")

alcarr,

It's best to specify the application you were automating as "Window" is a pretty generic term.

alcarr,

That code you provided doesn't even correlate to the error message, are you sure that was the only one line you used?

If the application you are running is an MSI, this should work for you.

ShellExecuteWait("msiexec.exe", '/i "<FULL PATH TO MSI>" /qb')

Maybe look for the .exe on a If Filexists basis

like this eg

If FileExists( "path to exe") Then
MsgBox(0, "Update error", "Update has already been installed")
Else
;install your stuff here
EndIf

If Ive just helped you ... miracles do happen. Chimaera

back to the drawing board i hope someone can help me with this issue.

I'm trying to automate and installation which i already did all the code for it, however during the installation i get warning pop ups about dll conflict and i have to ignore them but they are not consistent some workstation will only popped once and some other ones will popped 10 time, same box so the automate installation will sit there. is there any way to tell the install to continue?
