But I hade really situation make me gone crazy , I need way for installing multi os software for

xp and 7 and 8 and the big issue this software package it has multi version target 'x86' & 'x64' this what im try to do this :

I write func for check os type then assing the result to var called $isystype , then another func check the osarch and assing to var called

$isys86 or $isys64 whithen if func , then another func read all the assingment of variable that are set to send msg to the user and finally

call func called install86() and install64() both they had own software package all this func on one func call _main() >_<

So pleas tell me did I try doing something will not happen :sweating:

I need to know is this right :

if @osarch = 'x86' then
$icheck = $isys86
elseif @osarch = 'x64' then
$icheck = $isys64
endif

well when try to assing one of the if result to $icheck variable it would not be assing why ?

Nice job , and BTW for the first time I know something call stringinstr I will check it on help index .

StringInStr( "string", "substring" [, casesense = 0 [, occurrence = 1 [, start = 1 [, count]]]] )

Return Value

Success: the position of the substring.

Failure: 0 if substring not found.

@error: 1 = Invalid "start" or "occurrence" parameter given.

You need to learn how to debug!

ConsoleWrite("Is: " & StringInStr(@OSVersion,"XP") & @CRLF) ; Is 0=False 0<>True

how to debug ? , usually I'm use sysntaxcheck to know what error ecourd otherwise I dont know how to debug with other tool

Just run the code and get results with:

ConsoleWrite(); 
MsgBox();
; etc..

Do you mean using the simecolon with every line to debugor what ?

Maybe, if you do not know the results.

Global $iCheck

Local $isYs86=True,$isYs64=True

ConsoleWrite((@OsArch = 'x86') & @CRLF)

If @OsArch = 'x86' Then
    $iCheck = $isYs86
Else
    $iCheck = $isYs64
endif

ConsoleWrite($iCheck & @CRLF)

Now I had Issue with the msi file installtion , I use more than way and test it But it did't work

I use this Option from help file to run it RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c Start myfile.msi")

the problem is there is more than one msi file I need to run the first intell they finish and run the second one

the second issue how can I assing var to msi dir beside the script dir , something like this $msipath .

any suggetion .

iamtheky · February 27, 2015

so just use run instead of runwait and things will continue to execute. And it doesnt matter what you call your var that you set to a path.

and posting code is far better than posting explanations. We will understand a lot better what the issues are currently and where you are headed.

Ok here is expample :

Func _install86()
    
run(@ComSpec & " /c Start myfile1.msi")
run(@ComSpec & " /c Start myfile2.msi")
run(@ComSpec & " /c Start myfile3.msi")
run(@ComSpec & " /c Start myfile4.msi")
run(@ComSpec & " /c Start myfile5.msi")

EndFunc

I dont need the file to be excute at one time beacuse many msi can't be insatlled at one time , this will break the opertion .

apologies, i was mistaken on my interpretation of the above statement.

you need them all to run in order one right after the other = use runwait. And while you are testing I would use cmd /k to make sure everything in the msi is executing normally, that also forces the cmd window to wait for you to close before it moves on to the next run command so you can have a visual of where you are breaking and play along, in case of failure.
