K3OQ Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I am very new to scripting...in fact I have never written a script. However I find myself in a job where it will be a great benefit. From what I have seen and read about AutoIT...along with recommendations from collegues, I believe this may be a good place to start learning. The question I have is this, are there any recommendations regarding beginners books, websites...etc. that I can look to start practicing. One of my first projects is to deploy Adobe 7.0 from an autorun CD to desktops with elevated priveleges...therefore my next question...is this something that can be done using AutoIT? Thanks in advance, - Jeff - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMaster Rapture Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) Welcome to the community Jeff!There is a nifty little program written by one (or more) of the members here that is a great start to learning the language. I hope you have a little understanding of programming or this can get confusing. Just keep at it and ask questions (please use the Search button first though).AutoIt 1-2-3-CMRDoh!

jefhal Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) One of my first projects is to deploy Adobe 7.0 from an autorun CD to desktopsDoes your organization use Active Directory? Are you deploying the full Adobe 7.0 Professional or the Adobe Reader 7.0? Either way, is there an MSI file available for this product? If you have AD and and MSI, then you could deploy this via AD and save a lot of time. Otherwise, did you plan to visit each desktop to deploy Adobe, or did you want to do this from your desk? I have automated many applications' installations and might be able to help. Edited February 27, 2007 by jefhal ...by the way, it's pronounced: "JIF"...

K3OQ Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 We do use Active Directory and I have an MSI for Adobe 7.0 Professional, however I am not permitted to deploy via AD, which I have done in the past at other organizations. I have been tasked, by management, to work on getting this on CD as an autorun and for it to install using elevated privileges on the desktop. I want to script it a test so that hopefully, if all goes well, it will be the same install everywhere.Thanks,- Jeff -PS...have the tutorial and have started playing around some.Does your organization use Active Directory?
