jben Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi everyone. Been working on some code and trying to find an answer to a problem thats really got the better of me. Basically I have a script that automates software installation. This works fine on the initial installation but on re-install a form appears stating that the software has already been installed. Therefore I'm wondering if its possible to add something to my code to recognize this. An example ------------ winwait("name of form") if the form = ("this software is installed") then controlclick ("OK button") ;this is the problem. winwaitactive ("install shield","welcome to the wizard 1 of 2") controlclick ("whatever the button is") winwaitactive ("install shield","welcome to the wizard part 2 of 2") controlclick ("whatever the button is") I know the code above wont work, just a basic example. Basically the bit where I put "if the form =" is the piece of code that I only want to run if that form appears, if not then it will just proceed to the next bit of code. Any ideaS?. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If you think that the form would appear within a time $time1 then you can do something like if WinWait("title of already installed window prompt","",$time1) = 1 then ;handle already installed situation else install as before endif or you could say while 1 $currentTitle = WinGetTitle() if StringCompare($currentTitle,"title of already installed") = 0 then $installdone = true exitloop endif if StringCompare($currentTitle,"Title of next window for install") = 0 then $installdone = false exitloop endif wend Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

jben Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 I ended up looking back at previous posts and actually discovered I have covered this before haha. Waisting the day away when I actually have done something similar before, but just forgot. http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...amp;qpid=497350 this is where I found out the information from a previous post. Must be the Friday feeling, I can't switch my brain on If you think that the form would appear within a time $time1 then you can do something like if WinWait("title of already installed window prompt","",$time1) = 1 then ;handle already installed situation else install as before endif or you could say while 1 $currentTitle = WinGetTitle() if StringCompare($currentTitle,"title of already installed") = 0 then $installdone = true exitloop endif if StringCompare($currentTitle,"Title of next window for install") = 0 then $installdone = false exitloop endif wend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
