Get setup file progress bar percentage

[behdadsoft]

Hi.

I run a setup file and want when progress percentage is equal to  50, show me a message.
I searched in forum and found some code that didn't work. I wrote this code and my problem is GUICtrlRead() only work with autoit controls. I need a solution for read value form outside controls. dose anyone know how can fix this problem?
 

#RequireAdmin
#NoTrayIcon

;local variables
Local Const $title = "Setup"
Local $setup = @ScriptDir & "\mysetup.exe"


; run Setup file
Run($setup, "", @SW_HIDE)

While 1
    local $hwnd = WinWaitActive($title)
    local $gethandle = ControlGetHandle($hwnd, "", "[CLASS:ProgressBar; INSTANCE:1]")
    local $precent = GUICtrlRead($gethandle)
    ConsoleWrite("Precent is: " & $precent & @CRLF)
WEnd

Exit

it would be easier if you could extract the files from mysetup.exe and install them with your autoit script by using fileinstall.

depending on the type of installer you can find out exactly what it does and let your script do it instead. Then you will be able to make your own progressbar and monitor it from within your own script.

I'm afraid it's not possible the way you would like it.

A way that I could think of would be to use imagesearch and monitor the progress bar by color checking the progress bar itself (pixel searching).
