AutoIt unattended installation - (Moved)

[MoSayed]

Hello Team,

We have created a compiled AutoIt executable package and it runs successfully when we double click the exe.

But when we run it through Windows Task Scheduler or through Puppet agent through Azure DevOps, it seems it does not have interactive session and the process halts.

 

How can we run the install package unattended? 

 

Many thanks in advance.

This seems very similar to another thread. I'll say here what I said there:

If puppet is anything like SCCM, you can make the install interactive on the client. If so, don't use any silent flags in the installer, but rather use AutoIt to hide any installer windows. If the windows don't appear in a silent install, there's nothing to automate. But if AutoIt hides them, it can still interact with them. Otherwise you may want to consider repackaging the software. I like New Boundary's Prism Deploy Packager (formerly known as PicTaker and my personal favorite) and Flexera's AdminStudio (expensive and complex but works). Any delta capture style repackager should work. There are free ones out there but I don't have any experience with them.
