Malwarebytes Update dialog

[jdicerch]

Hi everyone, first post here so take it easy on me.  I am new to AutoIt and trying to write a script that will download malwarebytes, install it, update, then run a quick scan.  Everything works flawlessly except when it updates, there is an OK dialog that I cannot seem to automate.  The script wont continue until I click OK, and I have tried multiple ways but none seem to work.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Here is my code so far:

#RequireAdmin
InetGet("http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam/program/mbam-setup.exe", @ScriptDir & "mb.exe", 0)
RunWait("mb.exe /SILENT")
ProcessWaitClose("mbam.exe")
If FileExists("C:\Program Files (x86)") Then
   RunWait("C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe  /updateshowdialog")

   ControlClick("Malwarebytes Anti-Malware","The database was successfully updated ",2)
   Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe /quickscan")
ElseIf FileExists("C:\Program Files") Then
   RunWait("C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe  /updateshowdialog")
   ControlClick("Malwarebytes Anti-Malware","The database was successfully updated ",2)
   Run("C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe /quickscan")
Else
   MsgBox(0,"MBAM not found","Malwarebytes Installation failed")
EndIf

Besides for the ControlClick, I have tried activating the window as well, WinWait, WinActivate, etc.

 

EDIT: sorry, I should have been more specific...It appears when I update after this line

 "RunWait("C:Program FilesMalwarebytes' Anti-Malwarembam.exe /updateshowdialog")"

Here is the box that appears:

What is the dialog box, and where in your script does it appear?

I edited my above post! Thank you for the quick reply

Don't use RunWait, as that pauses the script until the program you started ends. In this case it won't end until you click that box away, so your script never sees it.

[jdicerch]

If I don't use runwait, the scan will start before the program is updated.  Is there a way around that?

Untested, but should work.

#RequireAdmin
InetGet("http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam/program/mbam-setup.exe", @ScriptDir & "mb.exe", 0)
RunWait("mb.exe /SILENT")
ProcessWaitClose("mbam.exe")
If FileExists("C:\Program Files (x86)") Then
    Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe  /updateshowdialog") ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<
    WinWait("Malwarebytes Anti-Malware", "The database was successfully updated ") ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    WinActivate("Malwarebytes Anti-Malware", "The database was successfully updated ") ; not sure if this is needed or not
    ControlClick("Malwarebytes Anti-Malware", "The database was successfully updated ", 2)
    Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe /quickscan")
ElseIf FileExists("C:\Program Files") Then
    RunWait("C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe  /updateshowdialog")
    ControlClick("Malwarebytes Anti-Malware", "The database was successfully updated ", 2)
    Run("C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe /quickscan")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "MBAM not found", "Malwarebytes Installation failed")
EndIf

I thought that would work too, but for some reason it doesn't.  Maybe malwarebytes blocked it from being seen?  I tried just popping up a MsgBox if the window was seen by winExists or WinActive and nothing. It doesn't even recognize it : /

[jdicerch]

Oh wait! I still had one runWait left in there...THANK YOU!  A combination of removing the runWait, and adding a WinWaitActive solved the problem.  thank you for all your help, here is the working code if anyone stumbles upon this problem.
