Script wont run in .bat file

[Jan-Willem]

Help! This is my very first mini-script. And it works fine if I run it, it works fine if I compile it and run it. But when I run the compiled file from a batch (.bat) file it just hangs. It does not open 'UninstallThunderbird'

When I do this manually, the script continues.

What am I doing wrong?

#include "include\file.au3"

If FileExists("c:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe") Then

Run ( 'UninstallThunderbird.exe' )

WinWait ( "Mozilla Thunderbird Uninstaller" )

ControlClick ( "Mozilla Thunderbird Uninstaller", "", "&Yes" )

EndIf

Hi,

When you Run a program, you usually need to put the complete path. If UninstallThunderbird is in the Mozilla Thunderbird folder, then you probably need to say

Run("c:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\UninstallThunderbird.exe")

Or you could say

FileChangeDir("c:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\")

Run ( 'UninstallThunderbird.exe' )

Probably best:

FileChangeDir(@ProgramFilesDir)
If FileExists(".\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe") Then
Run ( '.\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe' )
WinWait ( "Mozilla Thunderbird Uninstaller" )
ControlClick ( "Mozilla Thunderbird Uninstaller", "", "&Yes" )
EndIf

It does not give any error. It is on pause. It just waits for the uninstall window to open. No file not found error

Try changing the working directory to the uninstaller directory as below.

FileChangeDir(@ProgramFilesDir & '\Mozilla Thunderbird')
If FileExists("Thunderbird.exe") Then
    Run('Thunderbird.exe')
    WinWait("Mozilla Thunderbird Uninstaller")
    ControlClick("Mozilla Thunderbird Uninstaller", "", "&Yes")
Else
    MsgBox(0, '', 'Thunderbird.exe not found in ' & @LF & @WorkingDir)
EndIf

If issues persist, then you may need to look for the uninstall string in:

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
