Continue Script after reboot


Recommended Posts

Was wondering if there was a good way to continue running a autoit script after reboot. My initial thought was to call and load my script in stages and put it in the startup folder in windows and at the final stage del the script from the startup folder. The application i'm trying to automated the installation for requires for 3 reboots.

Any ideas would be appreciated,

TIA!!

hmm, it depends on the app you'd like to install, but can't you "delay" the reboot?

or just don't close the last install-window, leave it open 'till you're done...

Not if he is automating the clicks of an install process that wont startup again until next reboot. 3 times.

here is a model script I use for installs that take multiple reboots and requier elevated rights:

; pgm name DEMO.AU3
$Userid = "Administrator"
$Psw = "adminpsw"
; Remove autologin params from registry to clean up
SetAutoLogon("Off", "")
;
; retrieve param
$param1 = ""
If $CmdLine[0] > 0 Then
    $param1 = $CmdLine[1]
EndIf
; Act on it
Select
    Case $param1 = ""
        ; run your programs with admin account if needed in the first step
        RunAsSet($Userid, @ComputerName, $Psw)
        ;
        ; *** put your stuff here for step1 ***
        RunWait("notepad.exe step1.txt")
        ;
        SetAutoLogon("On", "step1")
        Shutdown(6)
    Case $param1 = "step1"
        ; is already logged on with admin account
        ;
        ; *** put your stuff here for step2 ***
        RunWait("notepad.exe step2.txt")
        ;
        SetAutoLogon("On", "step2")
        Shutdown(6)
    Case $param1 = "step2"
        ; logoff the admin account
        ; *** put your stuff here for step3 ***
        RunWait("notepad.exe step3.txt")
        ; just logoff
        Shutdown(0)
        Exit
EndSelect
Exit
;
;
Func SetAutoLogon($sw, $step)
    If $sw = "On" Then
        ; set the registry to start this program again after reboot
        RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RUN", "Demo", "REG_SZ", @ScriptFullPath & " " & $step)
        RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\", "AutoAdminLogon", "REG_SZ", "1")

        RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\", "DefaultPassword", "REG_SZ", $Psw)

        RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\", "DefaultPassword", "REG_SZ", " ")
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>SetAutoLogon

i really dont know, it depends on the program you are installing and what it does...

but either way... thats not a good idea

my suggestion could work for this

installing MSDE so it requires a reboot for the next part of the installation. otherwise i would do what you suggested and close the other windows

Not sure what you mean but it's a registry delet command and not a run command??

No idea what you mean... but in your posted code the RegWrite is behind a comment in stead on a seperate line....

Maybe you can attach the script so i can verify if it is correct ...

Another way is to split your script.

1. run Script1 -> write regkey to start script2 and autologon -> reboot

2. run Script2 -> ...

can you give me an example of how that script wiil look

so i'm guessing i would just split my script and add the following code

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","script2.exre","REG_SZ", @ScriptFullPath)
;

Yes that's all.

If you want to autologon after reboot, write the keys

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","AutoAdminLogon|DefaultDomainName|DefaultPassword|DefaultUserName","REG_SZ", "1|Domain|Password|UserName")
