WinExists problem

[mihaijulien]

Hello,

I have the following piece of code:

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c" & $cmd)
   Sleep(1000)
   If WinExists("Windows Installer") Then
      ControlClick("Windows Installer", "","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")
   EndIf

It supposed to start an uninstall process, and then when the popup "Are you sure you want to uninstall?" it should click on the Yes button. The problem is that the script stops at this point. Nothing ever happens.

 

Any ideas what it could be?

RunWait pauses the script until the process finishes.

Use Run instead.

an example :

Local $iPid = Run(@ComSpec & " /c" & $cmd)
While ProcessExists($iPid)
   If WinExists("Windows Installer") Then ControlClick("Windows Installer", "","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")
   Sleep(100)
WEnd

Thank you. That was what I was looking for.

Or you could try running msiexec.exe /x {GUID} /qb /norestart or msiexec.exe /x "Filename.msi" /qb /norestart, assuming this is a Windows Installer i.e. an Msi based installer
