And operator in a switch

[ct253704]

This simple script is giving me issues. All I want to happen, if the checkbox is checked, is for BOTH the messagebox to appear with the CD-KEY in it AND the install file to run at the same time. This returns the Multi-line IF missing Then error in this format, but I've tried a lot of different approaches and can't seem to get them both to run at the SAME time. I can either get the message box first and then the program won't run until it's closed or the message box second after the program is installed. However, I need to enter the key before the program finishes installing so I would like them both to open at the same time. 

Switch $EchoValue
 Case $GUI_CHECKED
 Local $EchoExists = FileExists ("\\fileserver01\disks\Echo\Echo_Upgrade_112613\9.1.2.4\Install_EchoWorkstation_912.msi") 
  If $EchoExists = 1 Then MsgBox (0, "ECHO CD-Key", "###-####-###") And ShellExecuteWait("\\fileserver01\disks\Echo\Echo_Upgrade_112613\9.1.2.4\Install_EchoWorkstation_912.msi")
  If $EchoExists = 0 Then MsgBox (0, "ECHO", "ECHO Executable Missing! Check server connection.")
EndSwitch

I've tried using 2 variables as well and doing the IF AND IF THEN ELSE combo and can't seem to make it work that way either. Suggestions?

You'll need to have two scripts if you want two actions to occur at the same time (at least that is my understanding).

EDIT: Shows my understanding Go Melba and DarthCookieMonster!

ct253704,

Use a SplashTextOn dialog or my Toast UDF (look in my sig for the link) - both of those will allow you to keep the dialog visible while the script continues.

Wrong UDF!

You "could" do this:

1. make a script that only has the message in it.

2. Change your script to this:

Switch $EchoValue
 Case $GUI_CHECKED
 Local $EchoExists = FileExists ("\\fileserver01\disks\Echo\Echo_Upgrade_112613\9.1.2.4\Install_EchoWorkstation_912.msi") 
  If $EchoExists = 1 Then 
     RUN("message.exe") ;message is displayed and the ShellExcuteWait line will also run without delay
     ShellExecuteWait("\\fileserver01\disks\Echo\Echo_Upgrade_112613\9.1.2.4\Install_EchoWorkstation_912.msi")
endif
  If $EchoExists = 0 Then MsgBox (0, "ECHO", "ECHO Executable Missing! Check server connection.")
EndSwitch

Both good suggestions, thank you guys. I ended up using splashtext simply because I like fewer files and I had never used that option before (it's awesome!) so I wanted to toy with it. Thanks for the help another problem solved.

Edit: Added final working switch

Switch $EchoValue
 Case $GUI_CHECKED
 SplashTextOn ("ECHO CD-Key", "###-####-###", 300, 75, -1, -1, 50, "", 12, -1)
 Local $EchoExists = FileExists ("\\fileserver01\disks\Echo\Echo_Upgrade_112613\9.1.2.4\Install_EchoWorkstation_912.msi") 
  If $EchoExists = 1 Then ShellExecuteWait("\\fileserver01\disks\Echo\Echo_Upgrade_112613\9.1.2.4\Install_EchoWorkstation_912.msi")
  If $EchoExists = 0 Then MsgBox (0, "ECHO", "ECHO Executable Missing! Check server connection.")
 SplashOff ()
EndSwitch
