Help with a Script

[padmag]

;------------------------------------Installation Begins-------------------------------------;

 

WinWaitActive("XYZ Server Software", "Start Installation")

Sleep(250)

ControlClick("XYZ Server Software", "Start Installation", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:&Install >]")

 

;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------;

 

If NOT(WinWait("Error", "ignore",4)=0) Then

   ; A window pops up that requires user input... leaving that window for now

   sleep(1000)

   WinActivate("Error", "ignore")

   WinWaitActive("Error", "ignore")

   sleep(500)

   ControlClick("Error", "ignore", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:&Ignore >]")

EndIf

 

 

This is part of the script trying to use for an installation. I added the second part to handle the error popup that comes up for subsequent installation(Not with first time installation).

 

The error pop heading is Error and it has a message which contains word ignore , so I added ignore.

And it gives three options to choose abort , try again and ignore.

 

So, I want to select ignore if this comes up. I am unable to get this working, Any suggestions?

Hi padmag, what is the software you're trying to install? If it supports (as most apps do) some form of command line options, you may be able to save yourself the grief of trying to manipulate the GUI.

Its an exe , It used to work earlier but it was not handling the error pop that comes up in between now. I am trying to understand how to handle this ,& I am new to Autoit :-(

Back in the day (get off my lawn ), there didn't used to be a "ControlClick".  It used to be that one had to engineer a series of tabs and etcetera to navigate normal window focus to the place to click and then send keystrokes.

Absolutely, unquestionably, "ControlClick" is more reliable.  But it may very well be that you can solve this problem, this time, by looking at which control starts with focus, how many tabs you need to send until you are on the correct button, and then send a space character to select the button.

EDIT: Or alternatively, if the ignore button has an accelerator, you might just send that.  For example, if it looks like "Ignore", try Send("^i") and Send("!i").

Again, this is NOT as reliable as "ControlClick".  But it may be the way you need to go in this instance.

Really? How unusual!

Seriously, what is it that you are installing? The more detail you give us, the better the help you are likely get.
