"Unofficial Adaware Updater"

[Guest RL]

Hi, I am "half-new" to scripting but I found autoit really fun and love it . I made a simple script with Autoit to auto update the Adaware ref file. Have been using it for a while and so far so good. Perhaps some might also find it useful. I am still using Aut3 without GUI support. But a setup interface would be on my to do list when I tried out the autgui version (and will then start to use *.ini files instead of just text file for line reading).

Suggestions are welcomed.

The complied script (readme file include) can be found here

Here is the script:

Little error when I ran it .

---------------------------

AutoIt Error

---------------------------

Line 55 (File "E:\Programs\AutoIt3\Examples\june8\Adaware.au3"):

$previousdef = FileReadLine($file1,4)

Error: File handle invalid. Make sure that the FileOpen command succeeded.

---------------------------

OK

for me it cant extract a file when you run it and it says it is updating your program then afterwards it cant download the file that updates it

Sorry, the script cannot be run by itself unless you have all the files from the package. You need to get the whole package that come with pre-created files (which also includes a zip utility from Infozip and a readme file). If you do not have the upzip utility, unzip will also fail (I wonder if Autoit will include zip function one day). The new URL download feature is really handy.

In addition, I also recommand to put the package at the same directory as the Adaware program, to reduce possible errors from the dos base zip utility included.

You can get the whole package here (Please remember to read the readme file in the package).

And here is the description page:

Hope this help!

Thanks. Glad that it works.

I just downloaded and ran... It's hanging on the "Exiting..." tooltip. I did have AdAware open from my last scan... I closed adaware, and restarted the autoup dater, it's hanging on Exiting again...

Perhaps delete all the Updater files in its directory (and perhaps its folder, too) and "reinstall" again (best to also reboot)? Since Updater creates some files after its first run, it could potiential have left some bad seeds because it was fighting for the ref file with Adaware itself during the last time you open it together with Adaware running.

Btw, are you using the auto scan after update optioin? Or you are not using the scan option? If the former, also good to test if the commandline shown in the adaware updater box runs with window "run" command.

"C:\Program Files\Ad-aware 6\Ad-aware.exe C:\ +S +a +1"

I am running the scan option, I've "reinstalled" the UAU, it got to updated successful, and is now sitting at Exiting... One thing, I'm not running it from within the AdAware folder...

I've updated the script and the file. I *think* the problem should disappear. If not, please let me know

AutoIt Error

---------------------------

Line 0:

Run($COMMANDLINE)

Error: Unable to execute the external program.

The system cannot find the file specified.

---------------------------

OK

My first guess is that you should put double quotes around the app path, ie

$commandline = '"C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\Ad-aware.exe" C:\ +S +a +1'

you could do this in your GUI by having a seperate line for app path and command line switches, or get the path from ad-aware.exe from somewhere in the registry... Or use FileGetShortName for the app path...

Oh, my just adding the quotes around the app path in your dialog did fix the error (first time I forgot the "change" button.) Those should be there by default.

one other thing, even if my version is current, I'd like it to run the scan from the one click.

You know what, that quote thing is the strangest part that I never figured it out. My experiences are that AutoIt behave somewhat inconsistantly on this under XP. In some systems, if I use quotes, it would work, in some, it doesn't and the quotes I added was not read correctly.

For example, I wrote a google search bar, when run the script the first few times, using double quotes to search would work for phrase search. Then, suddenly, eveything being equal, the double quotes stop working, I need to use single quote. Then after a while, single quote no longer works.

I think it is something about XP. For example, if you open an folder window in XP, press crl-F, the search menu pop up, it always take a while for XP to enter the search location with the quotes (XP will add the quotes itself, sometimes it is successful, sometimes it is not).

As for now, I am not dare to change the script on that, I'am afraid that I will mess up and it won't work on some systems (so far I have very few report on it not working). Hence, I think I shall put a line in the read me file, to tell the users to try to put the quotes in it only if it doesn't work correctly in their system. If I add the quotes into the code, some win XPs could add additional quotes to it and break it (it happened once in a while when I was testing some other scripts).

When will you have an update on this . I see the link on your site for the download is bad .
