Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted September 29, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hi, Shravank, welcome to the forum. You state this is interactive - is the installation silent, or are you trying to use MouseClicks to press the various buttons during the installation? If you are running it silently, you should be able to use PSEXEC to copy the files over and run them, or place the necessary files on a network share where the computer can access them.

Shravank Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Thanks for the reply JLogan3o13.The installation is not silent. It uses mouse clicks during the installation process, hence requires the installation wizards to be visible in the remote machine.And, how do i copy the input files on to the remote machine?

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted October 3, 2015 Moderators Share Posted October 3, 2015 If you are using psexec there is an option to copy files to the remote machine before execution. As for the installation, without knowing the application you're installing all I can suggest is that you look into the Control commands for automating the GUI. There are also a number of threads on the forum which deal with the difficulties of automating a GUI on a remote machine. You might look into one of the freeware software repackaging tools, so you can turn it into a silent install. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

Shravank Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Looks I am not clear in posting my question.I have successful automated installation process of the product with GUI. Thanks to AutoIT. This AutoIT script (.exe) finds my product exe and completes installation process. No issues when I run this on my workstation.Now, I want to copy this AutoIt EXE and my product EXE to a remote machine and the run.I understand, using psexec, I can copy AutoIT EXE to remote machine and run.Now my question is, how to copy my product to EXE to remote machine(which may require credentials) before the psexec command tries to run AutoIT exe ?Thanks in Advance.
