AutoIT can't find Window?

[nsvolante]

Hey guys, im making an auto installer and half way through the installation it just stops the installation even though the name of the window only changes a bit.

WinWait ( "Oracle Universal Installer: Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks")
WinActive ( "Oracle Universal Installer: Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks")
WinActivate ( "Oracle Universal Installer: Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks")
Send("!N")
WinWait ( "Oracle Universal Installer: Summary")
WinActive ( "Oracle Universal Installer: Summary")
WinActivate ( "Oracle Universal Installer: Summary")
Send("!N")

The window it wont "use" is the last one, summary. I change windows many times before that so i dont understand why it doesnt work, ive confirmed the name with the AutoIt info tool and its correct. Ive thought about using mouseclick, but im not sure if i should use that, because i might run this on computers that have different resolutions, which might cause issues?

Im not sure what to do or try.

Hi,

There might be multiple wnds with that title, you need to find the handle of the active window first, then use it even if the title changes.

Edit : oh and Welcome to the autoit forum !

$hWnd = WinGetHandle("[active]")

Try adding at the start of your script...

opt("wintitlematchmode", 2)

And then looking for just "oracle installer" or something like that........ The match mode of 2 tells winwait and winactivate to search for your parameter in the whole string of the title.

So if the title is "this is the greatest program" and you do a winactivate("greatest") it'll catch that title.
