Software Installer
Version: 2.0
It's been been a long year, but I finally got some time to rework this project. I re-wrote everything from scratch because the old version was getting too complicated with so many options and sub-menus. This new version is much easier to use and I have been testing for a few days and it seems very stable.
For those who are new to this software, it helps you install software silently/unattended. This new version tries to determine the silent switch automatically. You can also re-organize the order in which the software installs by dragging & dropping them in the listview. It now supports creating profiles and checks for missing software (and automatically unchecks them, so it does not attempt to install non-existent software). One feature I included was because I have seen several people on Youtube talk about disliking bright screens at night. So, now you can choose from a few color theme (half of them are dark). I dabbled a bit more into GDI+ to draw a few things and show my logo with a transparent background (hint: I'm not good at GDI+).
Under the Help menu, you will find a User Guide, which goes through most of it's features. I included a new icon if you want to use when you compile the script (in the Assets > Misc folder).
If you have questions, comments or suggestions, all are welcome. Hope you enjoy!
Here it is in action:

Recently I was working on a script with icons using GuiCtrkCreatIcon.
I decided to change the sub folder name of the icons to a more meaning name, however made a typo.

I tested the .exe on my test computer and it worked flawlessly (because both icon folder where on my test computer) 😁
But after I installed the script on the intended computers , I got chaos!😵
Zooming into the problem, I discovered, that because the icons could not be found, the ControlID were returned with a value of 0
and thus played havoc within the GuiGetMsg() switch/case statement.
I have been able to reproduce this  (see example)
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> ;============================================================================================================ ; PLEASE, do not save this example in the example folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Examples\Helpfile ;============================================================================================================ Example() Func Example() GUICreate(" My GUI Icons", 250, 250) $Icon1 = GUICtrlCreateIcon("shell32.dll", 10, 20, 20) $Icon2 = GUICtrlCreateIcon(@ScriptDir & '\Extras\horse.ani', -1, 20, 40, 32, 32) $Icon3 = GUICtrlCreateIcon("shell32.dll", 7, 20, 75, 32, 32) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ;$Icon2 = -1 ; ==> When this line is uncommented the script "works", so -1 could be a potential fix. ; Loop until the user exits. While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $Icon2 Beep (500,500) EndSwitch WEnd GUIDelete() EndFunc ;==>Example If you save the above script outside the Autoit example folder and run it, it will keep beeping because GuiCtrlCreatIcon did not find horse.ani and return $Icon2=0.
At the moment GUICtrlCreateIcon () only returns the conntrolID on success and 0 on failure.
I would like to propose a return of -1 on failure, so a existing and working script won't go awry when the icon can not be found.

I am not arguing the logic of this, merely would like to point out that if there is such a rule, it is not documented...  Are there other such rules?

Hi guys,
Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong with this code?
I'm trying to take user input and then run a function with the same name, but it's not calling the function.
So in the below after pressing Shift+F8 I would enter the text (without quotes) "testFunc".
As you can see I've also tried this with IF statements, I'm new to using Switch/Case.
HotKeySet("+{F8}", RunManually) Func RunManually() ;Use a case statement with 1 hot key and an InputBox to manually run functions $funcName = InputBox("Which Func to Run?", "Enter the name of the function to run") MsgBox(0, "Entered value", $funcName) ;If $funcName = testFunc Then testFunc() ;If $funcName = test2Func Then test2Func() Switch $funcName Case testFunc MsgBox(0, "Calling", "Calling Function") testFunc() MsgBox(0, "Called", "Function call finished") Case test2Func MsgBox(0, "Calling", "Calling Function") test2Func() MsgBox(0, "Called", "Function call finished") EndSwitch EndFunc While 1 ;testFunc() Sleep(1000) WEnd Func testFunc() MsgBox(0, "func running", "Seems to work!") EndFunc Func test2Func() MsgBox(0, "func 2 running", "2 Seems to work!") EndFunc Thanks!

Hi,
I want to tell pixelsearch to search for red color shades in for example 5 different x,y,h,w of the screen. If color red was not found in these 5 area, then do something.
I wrote this, but it's working only if the first case is not found. Is select a good choice? or it's better to use switch or if or something else?
ٍEdit: all "do something"s are same function. (search for red color untill in these 5 areas, it couldnot find red color, then if it couldn't find red color, perform that 1 function)
Thanks
Select Case 1 $color1 = PixelSearch(67, 614, 77, 617, 0xE62121, 10) If @error Then do something... EndIf Case 2 $color2 = PixelSearch(165, 614, 175, 617, 0xE62121, 10) If @error Then do something... EndIf Case 3 $color3 = PixelSearch(265, 614, 275, 617, 0xE62121, 10) If @error Then do something... EndIf Case 4 $color4 = PixelSearch(365, 614, 375, 617, 0xE62121, 10) If @error Then do something... EndIf Case 5 $color5 = PixelSearch(465, 614, 475, 617, 0xE62121, 10) If @error Then do something... EndIf EndSelect
