Trying to create a script to do an install - (Moved)

[GAPManCA]

I am trying to create a script to install PotPlayer.  When I run my script the installer opens and after I count to 10 the AutoIT runtime disappears from the task manager but the screen does not change.  Here is the script:

Run("C:\Temp\PotPlayerSetup64.exe")

WinWait("[CLASS:PotPlayerSetup64.exe]","",10)
;WinActivate("Installer Language","Please Select")
;WinWait("Intaller Languaage","Please select")
Send("{ENTER}")

If I remove the comments on the lines then the runtime does not go away.  I am running this on Windows 10 v20H2.  I have tried the 32bit and 64bit runtimes, I have installed the 32bit and 64bit of AutoIT, and also the beta version of the 64bit installer.

I know that I am probably doing something stupid but I have no idea what!!!

Moved to the appropriate forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:

1- You may want to install it silently (recommended).  Look for a /s parameter on installer.

2- If there's no silent install, use au3info.exe tool on window installer and show us result here

3- When posting code, please use this tool.

Use /S for silent

I am using Microsoft's MDT platform to create a build for my new computer so that I can rebuild it at will.  The whole reason that I am using AutoIT to install this program is that the installation program does not have a /S option or any other option that I can use on the installer (I am not sure where ManageEngine got their info).

Here is the Au3Info info:

Based on the info tool, it should be :

WinWait("[CLASS:#32770]","",10)

So I have modified my code to the following

; PotPlayer Installation

Run("\\mdt01\DeploymentShare\Applications\PotPlayer\PotPlayerSetup64.exe")

WinWaitActive("[CLASS:#32770]","Please select")
;Shutdown(0)
Send("{ENTER}")

The Send command is still not working.  My test machines are a physical and virtual (Hyper-V) Windows 10 v20H2.  I built a new virtual Win 10 Pro v1903 machine, did not connect it to my domain, and it still does not work.  If I remove the comment on the Shutdown command then the computer logs off right when the language select screen appears during the install.  If I hit enter on the keyboard of my computer then the installation does continue.

It greatly help knowing what is going with a script. So add some error handling and check the returned value of the functions.  ConsoleWrite all of it.

You could also try with #RequireAdmin

[GAPManCA]

The #RequireAdmin fixed it.  While I know that it is not completely turned off, I did set the UAC to the lowest setting.

Merci Beaucoup!!!!!!

Pas de quoi !

Glad it is working for you.
