mmartinez Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 The following script is compiled together with the Firefox1.5.exe installer application. The resulting executable is launched on the target XP workstation from a remote Windows computer using "psexec \\client -u client\administrator -p pass -c autoit.exe." Without the -i option this is a non-interactive session. The return code is captured and displayed by psexec. The problem is the "Firefox Setup" window, which is the first "interactive" window. Unless psexec is run with -i and a user is logged into the target workstation, this window is not active. It does not respond to "Send". Also its Next button responds in an unexpected way to "ControlSend" or "MouseClick": it promptly closes the window rather than "pressing" the button. The intention of this script is to automate the upgrade of Firefox on 250 workstations, so I need it to press the button and continue the install instead of killing the application. Any thoughts? ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;Install Firefox AutoItSetOption ( "RunErrorsFatal", 0 ) ;see if this helps pressing buttons on non active windows AutoItSetOption ("WinDetectHiddenText", 1) If NOT FileInstall("C:\FirefoxSetup1.5.exe", "C:\temp\") Then Exit 2 EndIf $rcode=Run("C:\temp\FirefoxSetup1.5.exe") If @error Then Exit 3 EndIf WinWait("Firefox Setup", "",15) If WinExists ( "Firefox Setup" ) Then WinActivate ( "Firefox Setup" ) Else Exit 4 EndIf $zcode=0 $state = WinGetState("Firefox Setup", "") If BitAnd($state, 1) Then $zcode=$zcode & 1 EndIf If BitAnd($state, 2) Then $zcode=$zcode & 2 EndIf If BitAnd($state, 4) Then $zcode=$zcode & 4 EndIf If BitAnd($state, 8) Then $zcode=$zcode & 8 EndIf If BitAnd($state, 16) Then $zcode=$zcode & 16 EndIf If BitAnd($state, 32) Then $zcode=$zcode & 32 EndIf ;this window is not active and the Next button is hidden ;in a non interactive install $ycode=Send("{ENTER}") ;$ycode=ControlSend ( "Firefox Setup", "", 12325, "{SPACE}") ;$ycode=ControlShow ( "Firefox Setup", "", 12325 ) ;$ycode=ControlFocus ( "Firefox Setup", "", 12325 ) ;$ycode=ControlClick ( "Firefox Setup", "", 12325 ) WinWait( "Software License Agreement", "", 15 ) If WinExists("Software License Agreement") Then WinActivate("Software License Agreement") Else Exit 5 EndIf Send("{UP}") Send("{ENTER}") WinWait("Setup Type", "", 15) If WinExists ("Setup Type") Then WinActivate ("Setup Type") Else Exit 6 EndIf Send("{ENTER}") If NOT WinWait("Select Components", "", 15) Then Exit 7 EndIf WinActivate("Select Components") Send("{ENTER}") If NOT WinWait("Install Complete", "", 120) Then Exit 8 EndIf WinActivate("Install Complete") Send("{SPACE}") Send("{ENTER}") ;Sleep (10000) ProcessWaitClose($rcode) If FileDelete ("C:\temp\FirefoxSetup1.5.exe") Then Exit 0 Else Exit 10 EndIf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmartinez Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 I found out it's just the "Next" button that's behaving weird. The "Cancel" button works fine. So it looks like an error with the Firefox installer itself. I'd be curious to hear if someone has suggestions to working around this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
