merge Autoit and an exe file to one

[autolt123]

Hello, i am very new to this topic, but i have a big problem with autoit and an exe file. My attention is to merge this two files into one, so you only must start one program and everything else starts itsselft. For exmaple in the installation the program needs my approval to some guidelines, but i dont want to interact. So i created an autoit file which do this for me. Now my question, how can i get this two files into one working non interacting file?

Greetings

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

I'm not sure I fully understand what you want to achieve, but maybe FileInstall is what you are looking for. This allows to add other files to a compiled AutoIt script.

@water i need to merge the autoit file, which clicks forward in the installation progress and the exe file, which has to be execute, because i want that the instlaation goes forward on other pcs in my company without interacting.

Which program do you try to install? Most offer a silent installation option. So no interaction would be needed.

I want to install Skype, where you have to interact. There is no silent solution.

How about this one?

Or use Orca to create a silent installation exe:

The first link dont work for me, i have tested it so far. But i will test the second one.Thank you for your help.

@water So i tested the second link, but i cant configure the SCCM, because i not own a sscm database :/ The only thing i want is to implement the script into the exe

Script into Exe does not work (AFAIK), but Exe into script works. When you use FileInstall to add the Skype Exe to the compiled AutoItscript then the result is a single Exe including Skype and the script.
When you run the compiled script the Skype Exe is written to a defined location. You can then start Skype by the script and do whatever you need to do.

@autolt123,

first, know that you fell victim to the psychopaths who made uppercase I look like lowercase L inmost systems and website default font; so it's actually AutoIt , not autolt, so change your username. 

now, Skype has an MSI installer. the link is on the first link provided by @water. that alone is all you need, as you can install it silently with msiexec.exe, which is a part of any Windows system. try it: open a cmd session, type msiexec and hit Enter.

if that was only an example and what you are interested is embedding an installer into your compiled AutoIt script, then indeed FileInstall() is your solution.

@orbs, @water

Thank you for your help. But how do i use the fileinstall command in autoit? So how is it build?

if the file is an MSI have you tried command line switches?
