jfones Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I am very new to AutoIt. I am working on various install scripts and am repeatedly running into the same problem of a security warning when launching the file. Below is an example of one of my scripts. It is currently using the 'run' command to launch the setup file, but I have also tested with 'shellexecute' and '_rundos'. What is the best/recommended command for launching a setup file from a UNC network path and how can I circumvent this security warning? Thanks in advance! ; ********** Define Parameters ********** #RequireAdmin #include <date.au3> #include <File.au3> #include <Process.au3> ;required for _RunDOS command below Local $tCur, $logfile $tCur = _Date_Time_GetLocalTime() $logfile = 'C:\AI_SQLnativeclient_Install.LOG' AutoItSetOption('MouseCoordMode', 0) ; ********** Launch installer ********** Local $32bitsetup Local $64bitsetup $32bitsetup = "\\domainname.local\DFS1\Z GM Info Technology\Install\SQL Native Client\sqlncli.msi" $64bitsetup = "\\domainname.local\DFS1\Z GM Info Technology\Install\SQL Native Client\sqlncli_x64.msi" _FileWriteLog($logfile, '**********************************************************************' & @CRLF) _FileWriteLog($logfile, 'BEGIN PROCESS' & @CRLF & @CRLF & @CRLF) If @OSArch = 'X86' Then _FileWriteLog($logfile, 'FILE PATH - ' & $32bitsetup & @CRLF) ElseIf @OSArch = 'X64' Then _FileWriteLog($logfile, 'FILE PATH - ' & $32bitsetup & @CRLF) EndIf run('\\domainname.local\DFS1\Z GM Info Technology\Install\SQL Native Client\sqlncli.msi') ; temp test in place of if/then below If @OSArch = 'X86' Then Run($32bitsetup) ;MsgBox(0, 'path', $32bitsetup) ;temporary test messagebox in place of run command above ElseIf @OSArch = 'X64' Then Run($64bitsetup) ;MsgBox(0, 'path', $64bitsetup) ;temporary test messagebox in place of run command above EndIf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jguinch Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 This kind of warning is a standard behaviour of Windows, according to the Internet Explorer configuration. To avoid a security warning appears when you launch a program from a network path, just add the server name in the Intranet Zone of Internet Explorer (for example, add file://MyServername when the program is stored in \\MyServername\someshare\program.exe). Of course, you can automate in your script (best way should be the use of a Group Policy if you have the possibility) : Local $sServername = "MyServername" RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\" &$sServername, "file", "REG_DWORD", 2) ; add file://MyServername site in the Intranet Zone Spoiler Network configuration UDF, _DirGetSizeByExtension, _UninstallList Firefox ConfigurationArray multi-dimensions, Printer Management UDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
