Entering a Serial Number that changes every install

[zorg2000k]

Hi,

New to this but what a great tool.

Managed to use this on 8 program's I use at work so far but have become stumped with a problem on this install.

Everything goes well untill I get to a setup page that requires a serial number to be entered. Now this hasn't been and issue with the other installs, but this program (Outside View v7.2) use's a unique serial key every install. So what I'm hoping to do is create a pop up box so the installer can add a serial number and then press enter and then it would script in the password entered into the serial box on the setup screen and then move onto the next setup screen.

Script so far :

; Run the swift installer

Run("setup.exe")

WinWait('OutsideView32 - Installation Type', '')

Sleep(800)

ControlClick('OutsideView32 - Installation Type', '', 'Button1')

WinWait('Welcome', '')

Sleep(800)

ControlClick('Welcome', '', 'Button1')

WinWait('Software License Agreement', '')

Sleep(800)

ControlClick('Software License Agreement', '', 'Button2')

WinWait('Information', '')

Sleep(800)

ControlClick('Information', '', 'Button1')

Any help would be fantastic

I am not familiar with the software you are trying to load but see below for a little example

$pass = InputBox("Input", "Type in password")
MsgBox(0,"Password typed", $pass)

Replace msgbox line with either send or controlsend.

another possible solution, if you're not installing on all machines at the same time, would be to have a list of serials, have your script grab the top serial, remove it from the list, and re-save. you could, if you wanted, even perform the install remotely, so that your script runs the installer on each machine, so there would be no chance of 2 instances of the script arguing over the file.
