abberration Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hello, all. Every month, I have to compile a lot of databases as installers for work. Sometimes, a few don't compile correctly and I would like to be able to log the failures. I am using AutoIt to start the compile process with Inno Setup's compiler. Inno's documentation says it will return a 0 or 1 depending on success or failure. I have tried a lot of variations of this code and none of them have return anything. My first attempts was running the compiler directly (not @ComSpec). That didn't work either. #include <CONSTANTS.AU3> $compileProg = RunWait (@ComSpec & " /c " & "Compil32.exe /cc test.iss", "", "", $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) $returnCode = StdoutRead ($compileProg) MsgBox(0, "", $returnCode) Does anyone have any suggestions?

hannes08 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) If it says "will return a 0 or a 1" you need to read the return code, not the StdOut. The return code can be read by Run() or RunWait(): If you assign the result of Run / RunWait to a variable, that's your returncode. $iReturnCode = Run("ping 127.0.0.1") ConsoleWrite("RC:" & $iReturnCode & @CRLF) $iReturnCode = Run("ping 127.0.0.10") ConsoleWrite("RC:" & $iReturnCode & @CRLF) Edited July 20, 2012 by hannes08 Regards,Hannes[spoiler]If you can't convince them, confuse them![/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The exit code is not read when using Run, the code you get when you use Run is the PID. You only get a exit code using RunWait and ShellExecuteWait. There's no way for Run to get an exitcode because by the time the program you started has exited, the script has moved on. BTW, don't use @ComSpec with RunWait if you want the exitcode of the program, because the exitcode you're going to get is the one from cmd.exe and not your program. 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.

abberration Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks for the advice guys, but I still can't get a return code. It's possible that it just can't be done. Easy MP3 | Software Installer | Password Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOne Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Try this #include <CONSTANTS.AU3> $returnCode = '' $compileProg = Run (@ComSpec & " /c " & "Compil32.exe /cc test.iss", "", "", $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) While ProcessExists($compileProg) $returnCode &= StdoutRead ($compileProg) Wend MsgBox(0, "", $returnCode) AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.

I'll look at it agin tomorrow. Easy MP3 | Software Installer | Password Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Are you still using @Comspec to run the program when you try it? See my last post if you are. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.
