I am trying to do my 3rd automated installation.

The first window is killing me. its a install wizard with a next button. the button reads Button3 (hidden)

I put:

WinWaitActive($pHandle)
; ##Start Install
ControlClick($pHandle,"","Button3")

It must be clicking it because I get an error in its place "error executing the specified Program" is the title with "setup.exe" in the main error window with an ok button.

if i manually click the button it works. So strange.

Any help would be great.

Perhaps you have a hidden button on top of the button you want to click. Using AutoItMacrogenerator within full Scite installation or even "Classes by Text" by LxP may show the control needed. If the correct control is hidden then you may need other methods to work around unless you can unhide it some how.

I put:

WinWaitActive($pHandle)
; ##Start Install
ControlClick($pHandle,"","Button3")

It must be clicking it because I get an error in its place "error executing the specified Program" is the title with "setup.exe" in the main error window with an ok button.

You may also be clicking the wrong button and getting the error? Consider using WinWait for Control* functions as inactive windows are fine unless you want to use Send or Mouse* functions.

if i manually click the button it works. So strange.

Any help would be great.

Try using the controls text as a parameter rather then the ClassNameNN and see if that works.

:D

Here is my full code for the portion that involves the first click.... dont know if the rest of the clicks work as I cant get that far.

;InStall SP1
If Not IsAdmin() Then
    RunAsSet('administrator', @Computername, 'xxxxxxxx')
    run("\\network path\MAS 500 V7.05 Updates\SP1\705ServicePack1C.exe")
Else
    run("\\network path\MAS 500 V7.05 Updates\SP1\705ServicePack1C.exe")
EndIf
;
RunAsSet()
; Change into the WinTitleMatchMode that supports classnames and handles
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
WinActivate("Sage MAS 500 v7.05 Service Pack 1 - InstallShield Wizard")
WinWaitActive("Sage MAS 500 v7.05 Service Pack 1 - InstallShield Wizard")
; Get the handle of a window 
$phandle = WinGetHandle("classname=#32770", "Sage MAS 500 v7.05 Service Pack 1")
If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Could not find the correct window")
Else
Sleep(20)   
EndIf

$sText = WinGetText($pHandle)
sleep(300)
WinWaitActive($pHandle)
; ##Start Install
ControlClick($pHandle,"","Button3")
MsgBox(64,"","button3 clicked")
;
WinActivate("Sage MAS 500 v7.05 Service Pack 1")
WinWaitActive("Sage MAS 500 v7.05 Service Pack 1")

FYI, you can use Ctrl + Alt + F to freeze the display of AutoIt Info Tool.

Looking at your supplied picture, thankyou, is the "Button3" is shown as hidden but see that the text of the control is "Finish". Yep, that is not the control that you are interested in, correct? Now, as I mentioned before, is to use the text of the control that you are interested in which is "&Next >".

I have made some changes so try it for yourself

;InStall SP1
If Not IsAdmin() Then
    RunAsSet('administrator', @ComputerName, 'xxxxxxxx')
    Run("\\network path\MAS 500 V7.05 Updates\SP1\705ServicePack1C.exe")
Else
    Run("\\network path\MAS 500 V7.05 Updates\SP1\705ServicePack1C.exe")
EndIf
;
RunAsSet()
; Change into the WinTitleMatchMode that supports classnames and handles
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
WinWait("Sage MAS 500 v7.05 Service Pack 1 - InstallShield Wizard"); Added a wait
WinActivate("Sage MAS 500 v7.05 Service Pack 1 - InstallShield Wizard")
WinWaitActive("Sage MAS 500 v7.05 Service Pack 1 - InstallShield Wizard")
; Get the handle of a window
$phandle = WinGetHandle("classname=#32770", "Sage MAS 500 v7.05 Service Pack 1")
If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Could not find the correct window")
Else
    Sleep(20)
EndIf

$sText = WinGetText($phandle)
Sleep(300)
WinWaitActive($phandle)
; ##Start Install
ControlClick($phandle, "", "&Next >"); Using text of control here
MsgBox(64, "", '"&Next >" clicked')
;
WinWait("Sage MAS 500 v7.05 Service Pack 1"); Added a wait
WinActivate("Sage MAS 500 v7.05 Service Pack 1")
WinWaitActive("Sage MAS 500 v7.05 Service Pack 1")

:D

Edit:

Note that you do not need active windows when using Control* functions so a WinWait() is enough to use. If you use Send() or Mouse* functions then you may need to WinWait() for the window to arrive, WinActivate() to force activation if needed and WinWaitActive() to proceed when the window is active. You can correct the script as needed for those yourself.

That worked like money. so the window spy tool can obviously be wrong sometimes?

Im trying to finish the script now... :D

ok. finish is not working.

This is what the info window displays now.

1) it just says finish not &Finish > does that mean i cant use text now?

using ControlClick($p2Handle, "", "Finish") did not work.

Current complete code:

Do you need to get the handles and the text from the windows to complete the installation. Also the loops looks over complicated for the result that you may need.

I trimmed off some bulk

;InStall SP1
If Not IsAdmin() Then
    RunAsSet('administrator', @Computername, 'xxxxxxxxx')  
EndIf
$pid = run("\\net path\MAS 500 V7.05 Updates\SP1\705ServicePack1C.exe")
;
RunAsSet()
; Change into the WinTitleMatchMode that supports classnames and handles
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4); Not sure if need this opt now -MHz
$title = "Sage MAS 500 v7.05 Service Pack 1"
;
WinWait($title); Added a wait -MHz
ControlClick($title, "", "&Next >"); Using text of control here -MHz
;
sleep(7000); Need this? -MHz
;
WinWait($title); Added a wait -MHz
ControlClick($title,"", "&Next >")
;
WinWait($title, "Setup is complete.")
ControlClick($title, "Setup is complete.", "Finish")    
;
ProcessWaitClose($pid, 300000); hmm, about 83 hours? -MHz
;
MsgBox(64, "Updated", "MAS500 7.05 SP1 Install Complete.")

Perhaps this installation is a repetition of WinWait() and ControlClick() functions for window handling? If so then make use of the text parameters of WinWait() and ControlClick() to add reliability in the automation. Note extra comments I may have added to the script.

:D

>>agreed

sleep(7000); Need this? -MHz

>>I think so. the first click starts a status bar, then jumps to the full screen setup screen, then eventually the 3rd window to show is the one with the "next" button. HOwever it has the same classname as the first window

ProcessWaitClose($pid, 300000); hmm, about 83 hours? -MHz

THanks~! main problem now is the "finish" window which i pasted the window info for. Once i get a control click to work on finish button ill go through and use these suggestions to trim the fat. When stuff dont work I tend to just pile more junk on :| Guess I should work for HP, (who else can put 8 items in add/remove programs for a fkn printer driver!) It works up to the finish window so im goint to leave as is until its all working.

Thanks for all your help.
