New User With First Script Problems

[drwoobie]

Hello all,

Found AutoIt through the Dell De-crapifier. I am trying to automate an install (in this case Front Page)

The install itself works fine, but after the script is done, the process is still running.

I discovered how to turn off the tray Icon, but it is easier to turn off through the tray icon instead of going into task manager.

I did look at autoit 1-2-3, but did not see my answer.

So here is what I have so far:

expandcollapse popup

Run("SETUPFPG.EXE")

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","Product Key")
send("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")
send("!n")

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","User Information")
send("!U")
send("username")
send("!i")
send("na")
send("!o")
Send("company")
send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","EULA")
send("{SPACE}")
send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","Type of 

Installation")
send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","Summary")
send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","Setup Complete")
send("{TAB}")
send("{TAB}")
send("{TAB}")
send("{SPACE}")
send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","Reboot Screen")
Send("!n")


ProcessClose ("Deploy_FrontPage.exe")

Some advice on where to look would be greatly appreciated.

ps. Would using ProcessWaitClose do the trick?

Thanks!

HI,

if your script really comes at its end, try just to put Exit(0) at end.

So long,

Thanks Mega, but it did not terminate the process.

I tried:

replacing the line "ProcessClose ("Deploy_FrontPage.exe")" with "Exit(0)"

and I tried simply adding the Exit(0) satement after the ProcessClose command, and that did not work either.

ProcessClose ("Deploy_FrontPage.exe")
Exit(0)

Other ideas?

Run this:

expandcollapse popup

Run("SETUPFPG.EXE")

ToolTip('Setupfpg has commenced', 0, 0)

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","Product Key")
send("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")
send("!n")

ToolTip('Product Key done', 0, 0)

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","User Information")
send("!U")
send("username")
send("!i")
send("na")
send("!o")
Send("company")
send("{ENTER}")

ToolTip('User Information done', 0, 0)

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","EULA")
send("{SPACE}")
send("{ENTER}")

ToolTip('EULA done', 0, 0)

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","Type of Installation")
send("{ENTER}")

ToolTip('Type of Installation done', 0, 0)

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","Summary")
send("{ENTER}")

ToolTip('Summary done', 0, 0)

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","Setup Complete")
send("{TAB}")
send("{TAB}")
send("{TAB}")
send("{SPACE}")
send("{ENTER}")

ToolTip('Setup Complete Done', 0, 0)

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","Reboot Screen")
Send("!n")

ToolTip('Reboot Screen done', 0, 0)


Exit 0;This is what th.Meger was saying... ProcessClose ("Deploy_FrontPage.exe")

And when your done, it should just exit, if it is hanging on a window, this should tell you.

Run this:

Run("SETUPFPG.EXE")
...
Exit 0;This is what th.Meger was saying... ProcessClose ("Deploy_FrontPage.exe")

And when your done, it should just exit, if it is hanging on a window, this should tell you.

Thanks. I will try your suggestions in the morning and post results.

Ahhh ha! Thanks smoke. The process halts at "Setup complete done" and never makes it to "Reboot screeen done".

Now I just have to figure out what behavior to watch for.

DING DING DING.

Resolved. The script was hanging here:

WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","Setup Complete")
send("{TAB}")
send("{TAB}")
send("{TAB}")
send("{SPACE}")
send("{ENTER}")

ToolTip('Setup Complete Done', 0, 0)

[color=#FF0000]WinActive[/color]("Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003","Reboot Screen")
Send("!n")

ToolTip('Reboot Screen done', 0, 0)

I did some rtfm of the description of WinWaitActive:

"Pauses execution of the script until the requested window is active."

And since this scipt lauches IE to go to the MS office update page, the final page was being shoved to the background. Changed the last line from WinWaitActive to WinActive, and that took care of it.

Thanks for the troubleshooting help smoke_n!
