Sequential Execution Script

[chaos945]

I could use some feed back on this little sequential execution script I've been working on. It uses a config.ini file (which is generated on first run) to launch applications sequentialy. I use it at the shop to run programs to prep systems for service. I am utilizing PsKill.exe for this script it must be installed in the script directory prior to running.

To use the script:

1. Copy a program you use into the script directory (ie. copy entire "CCleaner folder")

2. Add the name of the executable to config.ini (ie. ccleaner.exe)

3. Run Script

For example my config.ini looks like this:

[Processes]

pagedfrg.exe

StartupCPL.exe

CCleaner.exe

Spywareblaster.exe

#RequireAdmin
#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#NoTrayIcon

If @OSTYPE <> "WIN32_NT" Then
    MsgBox(4096, "Error", @OSVersion & " is not supported by this rollout. Only WIN32/NT versions of Windows are compatible.")
