WinwaitClose Not Working for me

[jsisson01]

Hi all, I thought I had this finished, but the WinWaitClose command I had which was working originally is now not working, can anybody help me out?

Func MSDEButton()
  Run("sql70ins.bat")
    WinWaitClose("%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe", "%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe")
    Sleep(3000)
  Run("sql70sp4.exe")
    WinWaitActive("Installation Folder")
    ControlClick("Installation Folder", "Finish", 12325)
    WinWaitActive("PackageForTheWeb")
    ControlClick("PackageForTheWeb", "&Yes", 6)
    WinWaitActive("PackageForTheWeb")
    ControlClick("PackageForTheWeb", "OK", 2)
    WinWaitClose("PackageForTheWeb")
  Run("C:\70SP4\setup.bat", "C:\70SP4\")
EndFunc

Hi,

try this one:

WinWaitClose(envget("systemroot") & "\system32\cmd.exe","")
MsgBox(64,"Gone","CMD.EXE's window has vanished")

regards, Rudi.

or use the macro:

WinWaitClose( @WindowsDir & "\system32\cmd.exe")

or use the macro:

Of course the macro is the easier way. I just wanted to point out that environment variables have to be resolved using envget()

So finally the suggestion for reading up help files and FAQ (sticky postings topmost in this forum) has to be mentioned. :hint:

Regards, Rudi.

It still doesn't seem to be working correctly, the script still moves into the next install without waiting for the other window to close.

Would it have anything to do with the installer being in silent install mode? I'm not sure, but I'm just venturing a guess.

How about using the process ID instead of the window title:

Func MSDEButton()
  Local $PID = Run("sql70ins.bat")
    Sleep(1000)
    ProcessWaitClose($PID)
    Sleep(3000)
    
    ; ...
    
EndFunc

That one did it! Thanks! That should fix my other issues too
