Hi

I try to install a program using a script.

The problem is the window with "Install" button. All command I used to click on that

button failed.

I tried ControlClick, Send("{ENTER}"), Send("!n") and finally MouseClick.

WinGetHandle and ControlGetHandle doesn't help (I used WinGetHandle with this: AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)

on top).

ControlClick and MouseClick works if I start the installation manually and stop on

that window and then start a script with ControlClick or MouseClick command inside.

Run the AU3Info.exe AutoIt Window Info tool and see what you get for window class/title/text and the same for the control. Post the results if that doesn't give you the answer.

It appears you have not given us enough information. What program are you trying to install? We need to know how many windows are open during the install that are associated with this program. Are you using the correct title info for the WinWaitActive command before you do the send.

Really, the winzip install example that comes with autoit is a very good example on what you need to do in most install circumstances.

Run the AU3Info.exe AutoIt Window Info tool and see what you get for window class/title/text and the same for the control. Post the results if that doesn't give you the answer.

Au3info window:

Given that you haven't provided your script, I'm going to guess that you're either blocking on a condition that is never true thus ControlClick() is never even called, or you're not waiting until the button is ready to be clicked so the ControlClick() goes off into the void.

This

is the installer.

The script:

Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1)
Opt("SendKeyDelay", 200)
Run("vlc-0.8.6d-win32.exe")

; Please select a language.
WinWait("Installer Language", "Please select a language.")
WinActivate("Installer Language", "Please select a language.")
ControlClick("Installer Language", "", "Button1")

; Welcome to the VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup Wizard
WinWaitActive("VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup", "Welcome to the VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup Wizard")
ControlClick("VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup", "", "Button2")

; License Agreement
WinWaitActive("VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup ", "License Agreement")
ControlClick("VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup ", "", "Button2")

; Choose Components
WinWaitActive("VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup ", "Choose Components")
ControlClick("VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup ", "", "Button2")

; License Agreement
WinWaitActive("VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup ", "License Agreement")
ControlClick("VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup ", "", "Button2")

; Choose Install Location
WinWaitActive("VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup ", "Choose Install Location")
ControlClick("VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup ", "", "Button2")

; Completing the VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup Wizard
WinWaitActive("VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup ", "Completing the VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup Wizard")
ControlCommand("VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup ", "", "Button4", "UnCheck", "")
ControlClick("VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup ", "", "Button2")

The installation is stopped on "Choose Install Location"

Did it not occur to you when you were copy and pasting ""VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup" for the 8th time to maybe make it a variable? Why do you have 2 spaces at the end of that string in every usage but the first? Probably not related to your problem, but it's still stupid to write the same string so many times.

Rewrite the script but with the same result.

Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1)
Opt("SendKeyDelay", 200)
Run("vlc-0.8.6d-win32.exe")
$title = "VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup"

; Please select a language.
WinWait("Installer Language", "Please select a language.")
WinActivate("Installer Language", "Please select a language.")
ControlClick("Installer Language", "", "Button1")

; Welcome to the VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup Wizard
WinWaitActive($title, "Welcome to the VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup Wizard")
ControlClick($title, "", "Button2")

; License Agreement
WinWaitActive($title, "License Agreement")
ControlClick($title, "", "Button2")

; Choose Components
WinWaitActive($title, "Choose Components")
ControlClick($title, "", "Button2")

; License Agreement
WinWaitActive($title, "License Agreement")
ControlClick($title, "", "Button2")

; Choose Install Location
WinWaitActive($title, "Choose Install Location")
ControlClick($title, "", "Button2")

; Completing the VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup Wizard
WinWaitActive($title, "Completing the VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup Wizard")
ControlCommand($title, "", "Button4", "UnCheck", "")
ControlClick($title, "", "Button2")

The following code is for the portable version of VLC and it works fine for me:

$titlebar1 = "VLC Media Player Portable | PortableApps.com Installer"
Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1)
Run("portvlc086cpaf.exe")

;First dialog screen
WinWaitActive($titlebar1)
Send("{ENTER}")

;Second dialog screen
WinWaitActive($titlebar1)
Send("C:\temp\VLCPortable")
Send("{ENTER}")

;Third dialog screen
WinWaitActive($titlebar1)
Send("!f")

Problems that I notice:

  • WinWaitActive not needed for Control* functions so use WinWait instead to ensure reliability.
  • 2 license windows in the script but I experienced 1 only. Perhaps the installation causes the 2nd license window to not appear when you have had it installed previously so I added AdlibEnable to handle it.
This works for me:

Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1)
$pid = Run('vlc-0.8.6d-win32.exe')
$title = "VideoLAN VLC media player"

; Please select a language.
If WinWait("Installer Language", "Please select a language", 60) Then
    ControlClick("Installer Language", "Please select a language", "Button1")
    ; Start checking for a license window during installation
    AdlibEnable('_Adlib')
    ; Welcome to the VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup Wizard
    WinWait($title, "Welcome to the VideoLAN VLC media player")
    ControlClick($title, "Welcome to the VideoLAN VLC media player", "Button2")
    ; Choose Components
    WinWait($title, "Choose Components")
    ControlClick($title, "Choose Components", "Button2")
    ; Choose Install Location
    WinWait($title, "Choose Install Location")
    ControlClick($title, "Choose Install Location", "Button2")
    ; Completing the VideoLAN VLC media player 0.8.6d Setup Wizard
    WinWait($title, "Completing the VideoLAN VLC media player")
    ControlCommand($title, "Completing the VideoLAN VLC media player", "Button4", "UnCheck")
    ControlClick($title, "Completing the VideoLAN VLC media player", "Button2")
    ; Stop checking for a license window
    AdlibDisable()
    ; Continue when setup process has finished
    ProcessWaitClose($pid)
EndIf

Exit

Func _Adlib()
    ; License Agreement
    If WinExists($title, "License Agreement") Then
        ControlClick($title, "License Agreement", "Button2")
    EndIf
EndFunc
