Creating an Unattended Software Install - how do I get my script recognize the GUI_UNCHECK

[gloriags]

Hi,

This is my 2nd day learning AutoIt.

My goal is to create an unattended software Install.  I have gotten my script to run and install the product.  But when I get to the final window, there is a checkbox activated to run the application.  I would like to uncheck the box and select finish.  The code does not seem to recognize the check box.  Will you assist me in what I may be missing. 

I have attached the final window of the install, I have tried using the various titles of the window within the CtrlSetState function hoping it will recognize the check box. Please refer to attachment. 

Here is part of the code.

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

$STATE = "CHECKED"

If $STATE = "CHECKED"  then

   GUICtrlSetState ("Launch Roadview Workstation after the installer closes.", GUI_UNCHECKED)

   $STATE = "UNCHECKED"

EndIf

Send("!f")

Have you tried doing a silent install or using a response file? I have several auto installers that use both.

I haven't;  I asked the vendor if a MSI file would do, but the vendor suggested going this venue.

What do you get if you use the AutoIt Window Info Tool (located in the same directory where you installed AutoIt) and hover over the checkbox? Does it show a Control ID or ClassName you can manipulate?

[gloriags]

Thank you for your response.  I tried the tool and hovered over the check box.  The Class, Instance, ClassnameNNM, ID, and others are blank.

I have attached the screen capture.

This function will grab/set the state of the checkbox (click it for the helpfile):

ControlCommand

Try running this, while the window is open, and active (added a sleep to make sure you activate the window first), and send back the output:

#include <WinAPI.au3>
Sleep(5000)
Var_GetAllWindowsControls2("[ACTIVE]")
Func Var_GetAllWindowsControls2($hCallersWindow)
    ; Get all list of controls
    $sClassList = WinGetClassList($hCallersWindow)
    ; Create array
    $aClassList = StringSplit($sClassList, @CRLF, 2)
    ; Sort array
    _ArraySort($aClassList)
    _ArrayDelete($aClassList, 0)

    ; Loop
    Local $iCurrentClass = "", $iCurrentCount = 1, $iTotalCounter = 1

    For $i = 0 To UBound($aClassList) - 1
        If $aClassList[$i] = $iCurrentClass Then
            $iCurrentCount += 1
        Else
            $iCurrentClass = $aClassList[$i]
            $iCurrentCount = 1
        EndIf

        $hControl = ControlGetHandle($hCallersWindow, "", "[CLASSNN:" & $iCurrentClass & $iCurrentCount & "]")
        $text = StringRegExpReplace(ControlGetText($hCallersWindow, "", $hControl), "[\n\r]", "{@CRLF}")
        $aPos = ControlGetPos($hCallersWindow, "", $hControl)
        $sControlID = _WinAPI_GetDlgCtrlID($hControl)
        If IsArray($aPos) Then
            ConsoleWrite("Func=[Var_GetAllWindowsControls]: ControlCounter=[" & StringFormat("%3s", $iTotalCounter) & "] ControlID=[" & StringFormat("%5s", $sControlID) & "] Handle=[" & StringFormat("%10s", $hControl) & "] ClassNN=[" & StringFormat("%19s", $iCurrentClass & $iCurrentCount) & "] XPos=[" & StringFormat("%4s", $aPos[0]) & "] YPos=[" & StringFormat("%4s", $aPos[1]) & "] Width=[" & StringFormat("%4s", $aPos[2]) & "] Height=[" & StringFormat("%4s", $aPos[3]) & "] Text=[" & $text & "]." & @CRLF)
        Else
            ConsoleWrite("Func=[Var_GetAllWindowsControls]: ControlCounter=[" & StringFormat("%3s", $iTotalCounter) & "] ControlID=[" & StringFormat("%5s", $sControlID) & "] Handle=[" & StringFormat("%10s", $hControl) & "] ClassNN=[" & StringFormat("%19s", $iCurrentClass & $iCurrentCount) & "] XPos=[winclosed] YPos=[winclosed] Width=[winclosed] Height=[winclosed] Text=[" & $text & "]." & @CRLF)
        EndIf
        If Not WinExists($hCallersWindow) Then ExitLoop
        $iTotalCounter += 1
    Next
EndFunc

If it retruns nothing, then you will have to use pixel searches, or something...is this a java applet?

It must be, as it is of the SunAwtFrame class.

FYI - I tried compiling the script above, it got quarantined by the anti-virus utility used in our department.  It got catergorized as MALWARE32.  The AutoIt executables also got quarantined and removed.

[jdelaney]

Why would you need to compile it to run it?

Also, it won't help.  That's a painted gui.  There are hooks available to get in, and manipulate controls on java, but it takes a lot of work...and time.

Try "Compile with Options" and uncheck the UPX option.
