automate driver installation

[howe]

Hi,

I'm a newbie using this software and i'm trying to automate a driver installation using autoit.

I'm currently running the installation in vista.

Autoit manage to run the setup.exe, following the setup screen, next, next, next until it reaches a window which it can't proceed anymore.

The window's title = windows security, text inside the windows = always trust software from matrox, available buttons=install, do not install.

I have tried using the command WinWaitActive or WinActive ("Windows Security")

and try sending a keystroke ("!i") to click install but it is not working.

Am I using the wrong command? I've been trying this for days.

Pls help. Thanks a lot.

I don't know if it's the same in Vista (I am still blissfully Vista-free), but for Win2K\XP\2003 is use calls to DevCon.exe to query\install\update drivers in my scripts. Avoids all the GUI stuff altogether.

P.S. Since it's a security dialog, Vista my be blocking simulated keyboard inputs, too.

Moin,

so, you're a newbe to AutoIt ? Did you tried the 'Window Info Tool' that comes up with AutoIt ?

Try it out and, please, post an example Script of what you've done written.

Hi

Did anybody else try this?

I am having a similar problem. The check box doesn't show a separate control (class) , so even though I tell AutoIt to click on the check box, its not doing so.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Raj
