crescentic Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hi I have been trying to Install a software using Microsoft Remote Console -- mstsc.exe /console So I trigger the installation and then close the Remote console window. And then when I reopen it I see that the first Window from which it should start the automated install is still open and as I just opened the window it detects the presence of the window and continues with the script. So the script is in a suspended state untill I connet to my remote client. Now the interactivity is maintained all the time since the user is logged in that remote machine but somehow I feel that the script also wants me to open the console window. I tried OpenSSH too to execute remote commands to install the script but it worked 2 out of 3 times and the 1 time it failed it was the same behavior again and I had to connect to the console in order for the script to proceed. As i am working on a very critical automated install , failure to install even once has a large domino effect. Please help me with any suggested work around while WinActive("InstallShield Wizard","WARNING: This progra") == 0 If WinActive("InstallShield Wizard","Click Details to dis") Then SendMail("abd@xyz.com","Installation fail","Installation PreReq Test failed") Exit endIf if WinExists("InstallShield Wizard","WARNING: This progra") == 0 Then ContinueLoop Else WinActivate("InstallShield Wizard","WARNING: This progra") EndIf WEnd I know the "polling" loop was not required and something like this If WinActive("InstallShield Wizard","Click Details to dis") Then WinActivate("InstallShield Wizard","WARNING: This progra") but the latter did not work so I was extra sure.. Please Help!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevin Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Are you running the process from your machine, or the other one? Q9. How can I run my script on a remote computer over the network? A1. The answer to this question depends on how much experience you have in networking. If the target system is a Windows 2000 or Windows XP Pro system that you have administrator access to, then you may use one of the following programs: * PsExec from SysInternals * BeyondExec from BeyondLogic With either of these programs it is possible to launch any process on a remote system, and even copy your script to the target computer before starting it. Neither these programs nor any others will work with Windows XP Home Edition unless you create a custom "command listener" that you manually install on the target system. NOTE: Those of you with more advanced programming skills and a little imagination can figure out how to use the service control libraries and srvany.exe to do this same thing without either of the above mentioned programs.

GaryFrost Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I deleted your bug report of this very same topic. Wait longer and either: 1. you'll get an answer on how to get this working 2. You'll get confirmation that it is a bug 3. You'll find out it's a limitation of the way it's being done. SciTE for AutoItDirections for Submitting Standard UDFs Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
