Run multiple .exe depending on selected checkboxes

Kleiner · November 15, 2004

Hello,

this is my first post so please dont hurt me. And English isnt my native language so please dont hurt me even more

Here is the problem. I want to use a GUI with ~15 checkboxes. For each Checkbox I select an autoit.script should be executed. Background: Since we dont have Active Directory and OUs yet, we use images for each computer. After restoring the image a view configurations have to be made to the pc. Depending on the usage of the pc, these configurations differ. Therefore I wrote some scripts, which automate each configuration/installation. As I dont want to sit in front of the pc waiting for each install to finish before proceeding with the next one, I would like to use this GUI where I select all my configurations that have to be made, click the Start Install and use the time to work on something else.

Here is, what I created so fare. Only the interesting parts are missing

GuiCreate ("DBC-Installation", 526, 428, (@DesktopWidth - 526) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - 428) / 2, 0x04CF0000)

$CHECKBOX_1 = GUICtrlCreatecheckbox ("DBC-Zertifikat", 20, 10, 90, 40)

$CHECKBOX_2 = GUICtrlCreatecheckbox ("Set ID", 20, 40, 90, 40)

$BUTTON_1 = GUICtrlCreatebutton ("Start Installation", 400, 300, 100, 40)

GuiSetState (@SW_SHOW)

While 1

$MSG = GuiGetMsg ()

Select

Case $MSG = $CHECKBOX_1

$dbc_zertifikat = ( '_installscript_dbc_zertifikat.exe' )

;;;

Case $MSG = $CHECKBOX_2

$set_id = ( '_installscript_setid.exe' )

;;;

Case $MSG = $BUTTON_1

Run ???????

;;;

EndSelect

Wend

Exit

I used your script and added some things.

I'm sure you have a digital list of computer names.

Put every computer name on a new line and the ParseCompList will work perfect.

Good luck.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GuiCreate ("DBC-Installation", 526, 428, (@DesktopWidth - 526) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - 428) / 2, 0x04CF0000)

$CompList = ParseCompList(@ScriptDir & "\ComputerList.txt")
If NOT IsArray($CompList) Then Exit

Dim $Computers[15][2]
$CHECKBOX_1 = GUICtrlCreatecheckbox ("DBC-Zertifikat", 20, 10, 90, 20)
$CHECKBOX_2 = GUICtrlCreatecheckbox ("Set ID", 120, 10, 90, 20)
For $c = 0 To 8
   $comp = GUICtrlCreatecheckbox ($CompList[$c + 1], 20, ($c + 1) * 40 + 10, 150, 20)
   $Computers[$c][0] = $comp
   $Computers[$c][1] = $CompList[$c + 1]
Next
For $c = 9 To 14
   $comp = GUICtrlCreatecheckbox ($CompList[$c + 1], 170, ($c - 8) * 40 + 10, 150, 20)
   $Computers[$c][0] = $comp
   $Computers[$c][1] = $CompList[$c + 1]
Next

$BUTTON_1 = GUICtrlCreatebutton ("Start Installation", 300, 300, 100, 25)
GuiSetState (@SW_SHOW)

   $MSG = GuiGetMsg ()

              ;RunWait("\\server\share\program.exe " & $Computername)
            EndIf
         Next

Hi SlimShady,

thanks for your answer. Your script is a little bit "large" for my purpose. Normally only one computer has to be configured. And even if its two, then the configuration differs so I cant run it on more machines.

I tried something like this

Dim $arguments

While 1
$MSG = GuiGetMsg ()
Select
   Case $MSG = -3
      Exit
   Case $MSG = 1
 ;;;    
   Case $MSG = $CHECKBOX_1
   $arguments = "_installscript_dbc_zertifikat.exe"
 ;;;
   Case $MSG = $CHECKBOX_2
   $arguments = $arguments  & "_installscript_filezilla.exe"
 ;;;   
   Case $MSG = $BUTTON_1
   msgbox(0,"", $arguments)
   opt("ExpandVarStrings",1)
   Run(@COMSPEC & " /c runme.bat $arguments")
 ;;;
EndSelect
Wend
Exit

where runme.bat is:

%1
%2

Unfortunetaly it doesn't work

...it was clear that it has to be 'not large'...

Reading a few other posts, I modified my script to get it more comfortable concerning the usage:

While $msg <> -3
  $msg = GuiGetMsg()
Select

case $msg = $button_1
    $state1 = GuiRead($CHECKBOX_1)
    $state2 = GuiRead($CHECKBOX_2)

   
  if $state1 = 1 Then
     $arg1 = "_installscript_dbc_zertifikat.exe"
  Else
     $arg1 = ""
  EndIf
 
  If $state2 = 1 Then
     $arg2 = "_installscript_filezilla.exe"
  Else
     $arg2 = ""
  EndIf
 
  $arguments = $arg1 & $arg2
 
  MsgBox(0, "The arguments are", $arguments)
 
  Runwait(@ComSpec & " /c runme.bat & $arguments")
;;;
;Case $MSG = $PIC_1
;;;
EndSelect
Wend

But still it doesn't work. (And I don't understand all lines I copied into my script. I think reading will help)

You were talking about Active Directory and 15 checkboxes.

I assumed you had 15 computers.

Anyways, I fixed your last code.

While $msg <> -3
 $msg = GuiGetMsg()
Select

case $msg = $button_1
   $state1 = GuiRead($CHECKBOX_1)
   $state2 = GuiRead($CHECKBOX_2)

 
 if $state1 = 1 Then
    $arg1 = "_installscript_dbc_zertifikat.exe"
 Else
    $arg1 = ""
 EndIf

 If $state2 = 1 Then
    $arg2 = "_installscript_filezilla.exe"
 Else
    $arg2 = ""
 EndIf

 If $arg1 <> "" AND $arg2 <> "" Then
   $arguments = $arg1 & ' ' & $arg2
 ElseIf $arg1 <> "" Then
   $arguments = $arg1
 ElseIf $arg2 <> "" Then
   $arguments = $arg2
 EndIf
 MsgBox(0, "The arguments are", $arguments)

 Run(@ComSpec & " runme.bat " & $arguments)
;;;
;Case $MSG = $PIC_1
;;;
EndSelect
Wend

Thank you again for your help, but

Run(@ComSpec & " runme.bat " & $arguments)

won't start the batchfile

I found a way without using the batchfile. I'm sure, this isn't proper code, but at least it's working.

GuiCreate ("DBC-Installation", 526, 428, (@DesktopWidth - 526) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - 428) / 2, 0x04CF0000)

$CHECKBOX_1 = GUICtrlCreatecheckbox ("DBC-Zertifikat", 20, 10, 90, 40)
$CHECKBOX_2 = GUICtrlCreatecheckbox ("FileZilla", 20, 40, 90, 40)
$BUTTON_1 = GUICtrlCreatebutton ("Start Installation", 400, 300, 100, 40)
GuiSetState (@SW_SHOW)


Dim $arguments

$msg = 0
While $msg <> -3
  $msg = GuiGetMsg()
Select

case $msg = $button_1
    $state1 = GuiRead($CHECKBOX_1)
    $state2 = GuiRead($CHECKBOX_2)

   
  if $state1 = 1 Then
     $arg1 = "_installscript_dbc_zertifikat.exe"
  Else
     $arg1 = "empty.exe"
  EndIf
 
  If $state2 = 1 Then
     $arg2 = "_installscript_filezilla.exe"
  Else
     $arg2 = "empty.exe"
  EndIf
 
  Runwait($arg1)
  Runwait($arg2)

EndSelect
Wend
Exit

If you have any other suggestions to make it more comfortable (no "empty.exe script"), less code... I would appreciate it.

Hello again,

my script is growing and working as well. But it's not very comfortable. Could anybody help me with reducing or lines and increasing the speed. Problem concerning speed. Each time no checkbox is selected an empty.exe file will be executed. If you only need to Install the last item for example, the pc spends a lot of time doing nearly nothing.

Thanks and Greetings

I made a shorter version for you.

I hope the order of the execution of the files doesn't matter.

Cause else I couldn't make it this short.

How about creating a comma or tab separated values file on the network that has a list of machine names and each one's options? For instance, you have 15 scripts that will either run or not run depending on the machine name. Use something like:

"MACHINE1",1,1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,1,0

"MACHINE2",1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,1,0,1

"MACHINE3",0,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,1,0,1,0

Have your script read the file, comparing the computer's name to the first entry on the line. If it matches, read the options, which are true or false for running each script, and run them accordingly. In this example, machines 1 and 2 would run script 1, but machine 3 would not. Machines 1 and 3 would run script 2, but machine 2 would not. :idiot:
