Script required to run the standalone tool

[kaotkbliss]

I have not used it yet, but you may be able to make use of BlockInput() then.

Just be sure to change the flag on BlockInput when you want the user to be able to use the keyboard again.

FileInstall("C:\MH.exe",@ScriptDir&"\MH.exe")
BlockInput(1)
Run('MH.exe')
$sTitle="MH v 1"
WinWait("MH v 1")
ControlClick($sTitle,"", "&OK >")
Send("{Enter}")
$sTitle1="Expedition Complete!"
WinWait("Expedition Complete!")
ControlClick($sTitle1,"", "&OK >")
Send("{Enter}")
FileDelete(@ScriptDir&'\MH.exe')
BlockInput(0)

Thanks working great, in between i need to terminate (quit) or kill this process like. have to use any shortcut key ?

FYI - We have excute this installtion on server environment.

You may possibly need 2 scripts then. 1 to control the HotKeySet() to start and close the script, and the main script. Once you kill the script, then it can't perform any more actions.

Please how can i execute 2 script at the time or else shall i enter my coding after the while 1 function, will it work?

There is option to hide the "MH.exe" tool while extract from autoit.exe?

Global $timer = TimerInit()

HotKeySet( "{ESC}", "_quit" )

While 1

;Your stuff

Sleep(25)

WEnd

Func _quit()

If TimerDiff($timer) < 1000 Then

Exit

Else

$timer = TimerInit()

EndIf

EndFunc ;==>_quit

I have got some tips, we can use to ctrl+alt+end open task manager to terminate the MH.exe process, while i'm terminate the process what ever the extract file "MH.exe" avaliable in the location. Here there is any provision to delete the file "MH.exe" while i'm terminating?

Thanks again for your help

You only need MH.exe killed, not the whole script? in that case, I tend to use ProcessKill() as it's sure to completely end the process although I think ProcessClose() is the cleaner way

[Deena]

Yes your right, i need to kill & delete the MH.exe not whole.

Could you please guide with coding

[kaotkbliss]

all you have to do is right before your FileDelete() add in a ProcessClose() or ProcessKill()
