Unable to proceed with auto installation

[alcarr]

hello all,

Im having issues creating a auto installation packages, I have coded the entired installation, however i get dll conflict pop ups during installation and the number of pop ups not always the same so sometimes i get 3 and sometimes i get 10 depends on the software installed on PC, is there any way to bypass this?

here is the code:

Run ("\\mgtdb01\MGT\Client Install\Files\Software\MGT 4.5\Import2DrawME Ver4502\Setup.exe")

WinWaitActive("Import2DrawME Setup", "OK")

Send ("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive ("Import2DrawME Setup", "Directory")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Import2DrawME - Choose Program Group","MGT")

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

WinWaitActive("Import2DrawME - Choose Program Group", "")

If Not WinWaitActive("Import2DrawME - Choose Program Group", "No to") Then WinActivate("Import2DrawME - Choose Program Group", "No to")

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

WinWaitActive ("Version Conflict", "")

if Not WinWaitActive("Version Conflict", "") Then WinWaitActive("Version Conflict", "")

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

WinWaitActive ("Version Conflict", "")

if Not WinWaitActive("Version Conflict", "") Then WinWaitActive("Version Conflict", "")

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

WinWaitActive ("Version Conflict", "")

if Not WinWaitActive("Version Conflict", "") Then WinWaitActive("Version Conflict", "")

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

WinWaitActive ("Version Conflict", "")

if Not WinWaitActive("Version Conflict", "") Then WinWaitActive("Version Conflict", "")

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

WinWaitActive("Import2DrawME Setup", "Import2DrawME")

Send ("{ENTER}")

You can use AdLibRegister() to have a function that will look for that window and click the button on the popup that you need clicked. In your code that clicks the button, I would avoid using Send() and instead use ControlClick().

[alcarr]

Im using the following code and still not by passing the conflict window any ideas what i did wrong??

AdlibRegister("test")

;...

Exit

Func test()

If WinActive("Version Conflict") Then

ControlClick("Version Conflict", "", "[iD:3; Class:ThunderRT6FormDC]")

EndIf

EndFunc

[MrMitchell]

Yea that probably wasn't the best idea because your script is still going to halt at some point. Maybe try a loop that continuously looks for the DLL conflict window and clicks whatever button you want. Have the loop look for the window that supposed to come up after all the DLL conflict windows so it can break the loop when it's time to continue the script.

Edit: Add psuedo-ish code

While 1
If Conflict Window is active then
  click Yes
  do whatever Else
EndIf

Sleep(250)

If Setup window is active then ExitLoop
WEnd

So i did this and works with the first pop up then stops.

Thank you for all your help.

While 1

If WinWaitActive ("Version Conflict","")then

ControlClick("Version Conflict", "", "[iD:3; Class:ThunderRT6FormDC]")

Else

EndIf

Sleep(250)

If WinWaitActive ("MGT Promo Ver 4.5 Setup","MGT Promo Ver ") then ExitLoop

Wend

I think because WinWaitActive is waiting for MGT Promo...window. Change the WinWaitActive to WinActive...both of them

[alcarr]

That fixed the issue, Thank your help.

here is another one that is failing finish, after the application is install locally it requires to configuration, i create the script to configured however the application will open after the configuration is completed and on the script event though i specified to close the window it will just sit there. here is the code:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

Run('C:Program FilesMGTMGTUserMGTUser.exe')

If WinWaitActive("Invalid Server Connection","") Then

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

WinWaitActive("MGT Configuration Screen","")

Send("{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}")

Send("mgtdb01")

Send("{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}")

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

WinWaitActive ("Save Changes?","")

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

Else

WinClose("MGT User Editor Login","")

EndIf

[MrMitchell]

Wait for that window to become active before trying to close it... WinWaitActive() then WinClose()

Edit: And for greater reliability try to use ControlSend() instead of Send() whenever possible

I'd be curious, since these products are distributed by Micro Gaming Technologies, what you're using them for? I tried installing on a virtual machine, but Avast quarantined both immediately.
