supraspecies Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Making a silent install for a program, but there is one thing installer does after it finishes: opens developer's homepage. CMD window is being called up when that happens. I'm wondering if I can somehow intercept that command so program wouldn't open its homepage at the end of the installation. If I can't interpt command/CMD window, then maybe there is a way to close default browser in case it is being called up or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikahS Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 If it brings up an IE window you could do something like this: #include <IE.au3> Opt("WinTitleMatchMode") While 1 closeWin() Sleep(100) WEnd Func closeWin() Local $oIE = _IEAttach("Internet Explorer", "windowtitle") If @error = 0 Then _IEQuit($oIE) Exit EndIf EndFunc ;==>closeWin You could also probably use the: WinClose() WinKill() functions as well.

jguinch Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Which product are you installing ? Maybe its command line options can avoid this ? If you close the browser, in will close all tabs.

supraspecies Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Installing File Renamer Turbo from Kristanix. There is an /S switch, yes, but I don't want the program to be installed into default folder. So I'm running through setup dialogs with AutoIT and inserting my own path. If there are any other switches for silent/unattended install, I didn't see them being documented anywhere. Solution with killing the window is very familiar to me, but as the program launches default browser (which can be anything), matching window title isn't easy. I was thinking along the lines of somehow intercepting or blocking the command that installer sends (supposedly just site address?). But so far I'm guessing there is no easy way around this.

Solution jguinch Posted February 9, 2015 Solution Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) File Renamer Turbo installer seems to use NSIS. So you can easily set the destination directory with /D=<Destination> : RunWait("filerenamerturbo-setup.exe /S /D=c:\apps\FileRenamerTurbo") ; replace it by your path Edited February 9, 2015 by jguinch Spoiler Network configuration UDF, _DirGetSizeByExtension, _UninstallList Firefox ConfigurationArray multi-dimensions, Printer Management UDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
