Wait until installation is complete - Press Finish Button

[EddieK]

Hi all,

first sorry for my english. I want my script to press the finish button when the installation progress has finished (without sleep command). Background is to install the software on different machines. One is faster then  the other.

Run("NwSapSetup.exe")
sleep(500)
WinWaitActive("SAP Front-End Installer")
ControlClick("SAP Front-End Installer", "&Weiter >", "Button1")
sleep(500)
WinWaitActive("SAP Front-End Installer")
send("{SPACE}")
sleep(500)
ControlClick("SAP Front-End Installer", "&Weiter >", "Button1")
sleep(500)
WinWaitActive("SAP Front-End Installer")
sleep(500)
ControlClick("SAP Front-End Installer", "&Weiter >", "Button1")
WinWait("SAP Front-End Installer")
sleep(120000)
ControlClick("SAP Front-End Installer", "Beenden", "Button1")

 

Could you please help?

Thanks

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Couldn't you use the /silent command line switch so you do not need to automate the GUI?

Bei Bedarf kannst Du die Frage auch auf Deutsch stellen

Here is the needed link to the SAP documentation.

Hi water,

thanks for your response. I'll try the command line switch.

But is it possible to work without sleep command?

[water]

Sure. Sleep is not needed at all. Each line is only executed when the previous line has ended processing.
What I would suggest is to check for errors after running a function.

@EddieK RunWait can do the trick

 

Just noticed that you want to click the finish button, there is an alternative, Use RunWait like this:

RunWait("NwSapSetup.exe /silent") ; This will install the program in the background (waits until it finishes intalling)

RunWait("NwSapSetup.exe /silent /Product="SAPGUI710")

This works   Thank you all.

TheCoder,

by using the "/silent" switch there will be no GUI and hence no need to click the finish button. And "/silent" has already been proposed in post #3

@water I wanted to show him the usage of RunWait & /silent switch, TD

You're glossing over the point where you basically just restated what water had already suggested....

[TheDcoder]

Ok, sorry if made a mistake, I am still learning . Appreciated for guiding me...
