Updating Video Driver Script


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

This I my first time posting here.  I am also new to AutoIT and scripting as well.  I also have search forum for answers but couldn’t find any.  I apologize if there was a post similar to mine and I missed it.

I took on a new role in my company because someone is leaving the company and only had one week of training with SCCM.  I have been learning everything on my own through the wonderful world of Googling and YouTube.  Please bear with me as I have been trying to find answer how write this script to update drivers for desktops and laptops in my company and push it through with SCCM.

Little summery on what I am trying to accomplish.  I am trying to write script that will check few things first.

1.       What OSVersion(Win_7, Win_8, Win_Vista) it is, then what OSArch (x64, x86)

2.       Then need to verify what GPU it has ($Var1=NVIDIA GeForce, $Var2 = NVIDIA NVS, $Var3 = NVIDIA Quadro) by looking in the $RegRead (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlVideo)

3.       Is this a laptop or desktop

4.       Then RunWait (xxxxxxx.exe,)

Example:

#RequireAdmin


@OSVersion = "WIN_7"
@OSVersion = "WIN_8"
@OSVersion = "WIN_VISTA"


@OSArch = "X64"
@OSArch = "X86"


$Var1 = "NVIDIA GeForce"
$Var2 = "NVIDIA NVS"
$Var3 = "NVIDIA Quadro"


If @OSVersion = "WIN_7" and @OSArch = "X64" then
$RegRead = ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video", /$Var2) then
RunWait ("332.50_notebookquadro_win8_winvista_win7_64bit_international_whql.exe")
EndIf

Am I starting in the right direction?

@OSVersion = "WIN_7"
@OSVersion = "WIN_8"
@OSVersion = "WIN_VISTA"


@OSArch = "X64"
@OSArch = "X86"

 

 

You cannot do that.

They are internal macro's and cannot be assigned values.

However you did correct use of the macro's.

If @OSVersion = "WIN_7" and @OSArch = "X64"...

 

so yes, you are on right path.

John,

Thanks for your reply.  How about having it look in Registry for value and then run .exe?  did I type it right?  It looks like when go to "Tools" then "Go" I get

I know that the pointer is pointing the error is  "Video", but just can't figure it out how to fix it.

even if I remove the / I get the same message.

If @OSVersion = "WIN_7" and @OSArch = "X64" then
    $RegRead = ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video", $Var2) then

Are you trying to use RegRead in the second line? Because what you wrote tries to assign the registry key to a variable $RegRead, but you wrote it wrong. Also you have a Then at the end of that line without an If.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

BrewManNH,

Thanks for your respond.  Is there a way to write it so that it will check for variables in the registry path and then execute .exe file after it know the version of OS and OSArch?  So, I am new to all this (with very little knowledge) and trying to figure this out for days now.

Here is the Code as of right now.

#RequireAdmin

$Var1 = "NVIDIA GeForce"
$Var2 = "NVIDIA NVS"
$Var3 = "NVIDIA Quadro"

If @OSVersion = "WIN_7" and @OSArch = "X64" then 
    $RegRead = ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video", $Var2) 
    RunWait ("332.50_notebookquadro_win8_winvista_win7_64bit_international_whql.exe")
EndIf

first download and install SciTE

http://www.autoitscript.com/cgi-bin/getfile.pl?../autoit3/scite/download/SciTE4AutoIt3.exe

Second:

open a new .au3, save it, type regread, press F1.

See now, that is not what you posted.

 

$RegRead = ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlVideo", $Var2) 

$RegRead = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlVideo", $Var2)
