Software install script keeps looping

[murpheeee]

Hi, new user here...I'd appreciate some suggestions on what I'm doing wrong

I have a script to install a bunch of Microsoft pre-reqs, then install a software application.

All works, but after it completes, its starts over and runs through all the pre-res and app installs again, and again.....

#RequireAdmin

RunWait("\\server\installers\NVivo_12\Nvivo12_prereqs\ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe /showrmui /passive /norestart")
RunWait("\\server\installers\NVivo_12\Nvivo12_prereqs\vcredist_2010_x64.exe /passive")
RunWait("\\server\installers\NVivo_12\Nvivo12_prereqs\vcredist_2012_u4_x64.exe /passive")
RunWait("\\server\installers\NVivo_12\Nvivo12_prereqs\vcredist_2015_u3_x64.exe /passive")
RunWait("msiexec /i \\server\installers\NVivo_12\Nvivo12_prereqs\SqlLocalDB_x64.msi IACCEPTSQLLOCALDBLICENSETERMS=YES /qb /norestart")


RunWait("msiexec /i \\server\installers\NVivo_12\Files\NVivo_12.msi /qb")
$FilePath = "C:\Program Files\QSR\Nvivo 12\"
FileCopy("\\server\installers\NVivo_12\Files\Activation.xml", $FilePath, 1)
Sleep(5000)
Run("""C:\Program Files\QSR\Nvivo 12\Nvivo.exe"" -i ""C:\Program Files\QSR\Nvivo 12\Activation.xml""")
Sleep(5000)

Exit

 

Thanks!

Did you call the compiled scrip "nvivo.exe"?

No, that is the app launcher exe

My compiled script is named Install_Nvivo12-SelfService.exe

How does your script get launched initially?

[Jos]

I do not see any reason in the posted source that would cause a loop. How do you shell the script exe?

At this point a user will navigate to the directory and just double click it

I just right click the .au3 file and Compile Script to create the exe

[Jos]

That is the compilation, not shelling the compiled script, but your previous post answers that. As said, the script itself doesn't seem to contain a reason for looping. Did you check whether the script exe actually still runs when the process starts again....and if so does it have the same pid?

My son (working along side me), just packaged NVivo 12 here are the basic steps he used, while it will take a little longer to use the InstallShield wrapped exe, it installs any of the pre-requisites required (most are already installed, although I see you're installing DotNetFx 4.8 (NVivo only requires 4.6.2).

Anyway hope that helps.

If RegRead('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{BAF67399-85CD-4555-9B49-1F80EB921C35}', 'DisplayVersion') = '' Then
    RunWait('msiexec.exe /i"' & @ScriptDir & '\SqlLocalDB.msi" /QN /NORESTART')
EndIf
If RegRead('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{28ADDB93-754C-4AB8-AAE5-851DBCBA2C1E}', 'DisplayVersion') = '' Then
    RunWait(@ScriptDir & '\NVivo12.x64.exe /s /v" /qn /norestart"')
EndIf
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & '"C:\Program Files\QSR\NVivo 12\NVivo.exe" -i xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx', "", @SW_HIDE)
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & '"C:\Program Files\QSR\NVivo 12\NVivo.exe" -a ' & @ScriptDir & '\Activation.xml', "", @SW_HIDE)

Thank you, I will give it a go

I just downloaded the latest NVivo 12.6 and its claims that .NETFramework 4.8 is now a pre-req
