heck of a time with a simple script.

[Lance]

I am using autoit to installing a driver through device manager. I have successfully written the script to install the driver. The problem I am having is closing the window when the install is finished. I tried using...

Sleep(10000)

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("!f")

Send("x")

But nothing happens. I am fairly sure the install from the previous step is much less than 10 seconds and the window still has focus after the install is done.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

how are you starting the device manager

how are you starting the device manager

I am using

run(@comspec & ' /c ' & @SystemDir & "\devmgmt.msc", @SystemDir, @sw_hide)

Sleep(10000)

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("!f")

Send("x")

On my system, (after launching Device Manager), all this would do is select the root item, then quit.

What state is device manager in when your script runs?

Also, why not install from an .INF or Devcon?

Here is the whole script if it helps

*** Starts Device manager

Opt("SendKeyDelay", 50)

run(@comspec & ' /c ' & @SystemDir & "\devmgmt.msc", @SystemDir, @sw_hide)

Sleep(3000)

*** Goes to the correct device and opens the properties

Send("{TAB}")

Send("o")

Send("{RIGHT}")

Send("m")

Send("{ENTER}")

*** Launches reinstall driver, browses to driver inf folder, and starts the install

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("!t")

Send("!n")

Send("!s")

Send("!n")

Send("!o")

Send("!r")

Send("m")

Send("{RIGHT}")

Send("b")

Send("{RIGHT}")

Send("w")

Send("{RIGHT}")

Send("t")

Send("{RIGHT}")

Send("h")

Send("{RIGHT}")

Send("m")

Send("{RIGHT}")

Send("wintv-pvr-250mce")

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("!n")

*** Waits 10 secs for install to complete, supposed to hit enter for highlighted finish button, and close program manager -- This is the only part that doesn't work

Sleep(10000)

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{ENTER}")

Send("!f")

Send("x")
