Script hangs in system tray need help

[crash99]

I created a script and compiled it to an .exe. The script runs and installs the application, but half the time it installs and then leaves an icon in the system tray saying the script name and that it is paused. I have to right click and select exit for it to be done.

I really need it to complete, so I can install other applications after it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Run("setup.exe")

WinWaitActive("RSA SecurID Software Token Setup")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("RSA SecurID Software Token Setup License Agreement")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("RSA SecurID Software Token Setup Folder")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWait("RSA SecurID Software Token Setup", "RSA SecurID Software Token Setup succeeded!")

Send("{ENTER}")

Exit

#noTrayIcon
Run("setup.exe")

WinWaitActive("RSA SecurID Software Token Setup")
Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("RSA SecurID Software Token Setup License Agreement")
Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("RSA SecurID Software Token Setup Folder")
Send("{ENTER}")

WinWait("RSA SecurID Software Token Setup", "RSA SecurID Software Token Setup succeeded!")
Send("{ENTER}")

Exit

?

EDIT: Should of stated this originally: the #noTrayIcon (at the very top) would get rid of the icon from the very beginning.

However, like PsaltyDS said, it might be getting stuck at one of the WinWait commands...

It just runs a setup and applies enter so I can have it installed silently. The application does not support a silent install normaly.

Problem is where it completes and then seems to pause.

Anything more than ? would be helpful.

Put this at the top of the script:

Opt("TrayAutoPause", 0)
Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1)

When you put your mouse over the tray icon, it should tell you by line number which of the WinWait's is stuck.

WinWaitActive is know that sometimes gets stuck when the window title/window text is quite long.

Solution: put Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) on top of your script and try to shorten the title to a minimum necessary.

#noTrayIcon
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
Run("setup.exe")

WinWaitActive("RSA SecurID")
Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("License Agreement")
Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("Setup Folder")
Send("{ENTER}")

WinWait("RSA SecurID", "Setup succeeded!")
Send("{ENTER}")

Exit

You can change the titles above as you wish as long as what you choose is significant for that window. Also add what PsaltyDS suggested.

You may also want to use controlsend to make it more stable - in the event the app loses focus. When you use send, it will send to the window that has focus, if the wrong window has focus, your script will break.

Opt("TrayAutoPause", 0)
Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1)

Thanks for the tips. The Debug code let me see where the error was.
