Converting Batch files to AutoIT

[Swatty43]

Hi everyone,

I created a "Setup utility" at work that basically consists of multiple batch files with CMD commands. I want to convert them over to AutoIT, I know it constitutes rewriting them since there is no "convert" however I have multiple CMD commands that I want to be able to see in one CMD console using AutoIT. I have tried the && with @comspec, but I can't seem to get it to show every command. I have included part of my batch file with the most commands. It removes most of the bloatware on a new PC. Thank you for any insight/help. I know I could make it into its own .bat file and have AutoIT start it but what is the fun in that?

I am new to AutoIT but extremely excited to learn and see what I can do with it!

I'm also quite stucked in my own scenario.

Till now what i came to know is you should use ShellExecute to run .MSI files instead of @Comspec (Please correct me if i'm wrong)

Now to uninstall a program you need admin privilege one way is to login to every machine as Admin and execute the script

The other way is to check if the user is admin and prompt for admin password if not using IsAdmin()

you can find my post over here '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

Thanks

Hello, Welcome to the Forum

You might want to look at the Run, ShellExecute, and FileExists functions in the Help file. You might want to look at the Help file in whole too, it's a great resource. Almost every native AutoIt function has a working code example in it, and you can find tutorials here - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=autoit+tutorials. Don't forget to read the Forum rules here too!

Good luck with your project!
