downloading files with autoit

[will88]

I'm trying to download a file to a certain location(C:\Downloads)

this is what I have so far:

$Name = 'Omen.rar'
$URL = "http://files.wowace.com/Omen/Omen.zip"
InetGet($URL,$Name,0,1)

It downloads the file to where, the last file was downloaded to.

I've tried to using filesavedialog() but then I have to click the save button

Haven't you tried

$Name = "C:\Downloads\Omen.rar"

?

But why Omen.rar when you are downloading Omen.zip?

Thanks, Idk why I didnt think of that -.-

omen is an addon for world of warcraft that gets updated about everyday for some reason, so I made an autoit script to update it. But now it only downloads it and its not doing anything after that..

$Name = 'C:\Downloads\Omen.rar'
$URL = "http://files.wowace.com/Omen/Omen.zip"
InetGet($URL,$Name,0,1) then
tooltip( "Extracting Addon..." , 69 , 14 , "" , 0 , 4 )
If FileExists("C:\Downloads\Omen.zip")
Send("#r");opens run
sleep(500)
send("C:\Downloads\Omen.zip{enter}")
winwait("Omen.zip - WinRAR")
sleep(500)
send('{altdown}w{altup}');extract
sleep(2000)
send('{altdown}{f4}{altup}');close winrar
sleep(1000)
If FileExists("C:\Downloads\Omen.zip") Then
filedelete( "C:\Downloads\Omen.zip")
tooltip( "Moving Addon to WoW folder." , 69 , 14 , "" , 0 , 4 )
sleep(1000)
DirMove( "C:\Downloads\Omen", "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons\" , 1 )
tooltip("")


            $answer = MsgBox(4, "World of Warcraft", "Would you like to run WoW?")
            If $answer = 7 Then
            EndIf
            If $answer = 6 Then
            Run('"C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Launcher.exe"')
            Exit
        EndIf
    EndIf
    EndIf

It looks to me like you try to open a file that doesn't exist. you downloaded as .rar as I said in my previous post, but you try to run .zip.

Actually,it will work ,because it downloads .zip and searchs for .zip.

Yes, check your file extensions as mentioned above.

Also, try running winrar from the command line:

RunWait("C:\path-to\winrar.exe x * C:\path-to-wow-addons-folder")

Check your winrar documentation to make sure that's right, I haven't used it in a while.

Edit:

As for the filenames, this is what I saw in the posted code:

$Name = 'C:\Downloads\Omen.rar'

$URL = "http://files.wowace.com/Omen/Omen.zip"

send("C:\Downloads\Omen.zip{enter}")

So if run cannot find the file, it cannot run it.
