AutoIT Script not running when compiled for x86

[Techline2012]

Hey everyone, the issue I am having is hopefully a trivial one. I have created a script, which I will post below, that automates a particular virus removal program. If I run the .au3 script (x86 or x64), it works perfectly. If I compile the script for x64, it runs perfectly. How come when I compile it for compatibility with x32 it will get stuck on the last part where I send the "Enter" command. It will not do it either time, although when I run the script or compiled x64 version it works fine. Is there something I am missing? How can I get this to run on x32 machines?

   WinWait("ComboFix", "There")
   WinActivate("ComboFix", "There")
   WinWaitActive("ComboFix", "There")
   ControlClick("ComboFix", "There", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")

   WinWait("ComboFix: Disclaimer", "Please review the disclaimer before running ComboFix. You should disable your antivirus programs before proceeding.")
   WinActivate("ComboFix: Disclaimer", "Please review the disclaimer before running ComboFix. You should disable your antivirus programs before proceeding.")

   ControlClick("ComboFix: Disclaimer", "Please review the disclaimer before running ComboFix. You should disable your antivirus programs before proceeding.", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]")

EndIf

Do
   sleep(100)
Until WinExists("Warning") or WinExists("Administrator")

If WinExists("Warning") Then

   WinWait("Warning")
   WinActivate("Warning")
   WinWaitActive("Warning")
   Send("{ENTER}")

   WinWait("Warning")
   WinActivate("Warning")
   WinWaitActive("Warning")
   Send("{ENTER}")

EndIf

(It crashes at the point it says "If WinExists("Warning") then" ....etc

 

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Define "crashes".

Does it give you an error message, does it exit the script, does it hang, does it blue screen the computer? 

Crashes is a very vague problem description that could imply anything and everything.

I'm not quite sure. I assume exit, because the icon is not shown in the notification bar anymore. I don't get a message or anything, I just get stuck at the window where autoIT should be sending "Enter". The script disappears from the notification bar, and I have to exit the application.

[BrewManNH]

Is the window displaying the warning or the Administrator title? Because you only coded for the warning and not the administrator.

[Techline2012]

It gets stuck at the "Warning" window. Once it hits "Administrator" the script ends. This is how it should be. The situation is that I will either get the warning window or administrator window depending on a couple of variables. If it hits warning, it needs to send enter. The window then pops up again, and again it needs to send enter. Then administrator will pop up, and the script will (should) close, which it does. There is no problem with the logic of my code: I've seen it work multiple times. As long as it is not compiled for x32 machines it will run.

Don't compile it for x64 if it's not needed. The 32 bit version should work on an x64 OS, so unless it's absolutely necessary to compile it that way, you probably don't need to.

[Techline2012]

My point exactly. But can you see my issue. I WANT to compile it for x32, but when I do the script stops at the WARNING window. When I compile it for x64 it DOES work. I can also click Run Script x32 or Run Script x64, and these both WORK. Why will my script not work when I compile it for x32, and then proceed to run the .exe?

I have actually automated ComboFix in a larger tool using AutoIt in the past month. I cannot imagine your code can finish the CF run.

Your script is not crashing, ComboFix is killing it. Combofix has killed off my repair tools for a long time, so you cannot automate ComboFix like you want to.

[Techline2012]

So how come it only kills the x32 version and not the x64 version? Once I get to the administrator command window, I can have the script close because the only two possible outcomes are 1) Restart and 2) Bring up Log file. I just need it to send enter those two times, and I can finish the script. 

If combo fix is killing my script, why will it only kill the x32 version. Thats the main problem it looks like.
