If Win (Does Not) Exist Question

[vynce1982]

Could anyone tell me why these winExists statements are always returning zero, when the windows do exist. I think the problem is the "already installed" windows - I can't seem to capture its existence. 

 

#RequireAdmin

;INSTALL VLC VIEWER
Run(@ScriptDir & '\bin\VLCViewer_2.2.4_3.EXE')
AutoItSetOption('MouseCoordMode', 0)

WinWait ('VLC Viewer 2.2.4',"", 20)

If WinExists ('VLC Viewer 2.2.4','VLC 2.2.4 Already Installed')Then
   ConsoleWrite ("already installed")
   WinActivate ('VLC Viewer 2.2.4','VLC 2.2.4 Already Installed')
   MouseClick ('primary', 93, 83, 1, 0)
EndIf
If WinExists ('VLC Viewer 2.2.4','VLC Viewer 2.2.4 Installed')Then
   ConsoleWrite ("completed install")
   WinActivate ('VLC Viewer 2.2.4','VLC Viewer 2.2.4 Installed')
   MouseClick ('primary', 93, 83, 1, 0)
EndIf

Post split into new topic as that is better than posting in an 14 year old thread.

You could use WinList() function to retrieve all the Windows opened and, if you match the Window which has that title, then you can grab the handle of the Window and use it to do whatever you want
