Here is the Problem. I thought he will test the Ping. As i didnt have any conaction to this ip (no lan, wlan, usw,.. ) i thought he gona do this Klick.

he didnt. So i made a Ping in cmd. lost 4 pakets,.. so It has to be an "@error",. What ist wrong?

#ce

dim $ping=ping("89.238.64.39")

select

case $ping=@error

Mouseclick("left",52,203,1,0)

dim $Updt="n"

case $ping= NOT @error

dim $Updt="j"

endselect

SEND("!w")

Winwaitactive("Setup - Spybot - Search & Destroy","Startmenü-Ordner auswählen")

send("!k")

send("!w")

Winwaitactive("Setup - Spybot - Search & Destroy","Zusätzliche Aufgaben auswählen")

send("!d")

Send("!s")

send("!w")

Winwaitactive("Setup - Spybot - Search & Destroy","Installation durchführen")

send("!i")

#cs

After the Instalation, not nesecary 4 now

Select

case $Updt="j"

;ProcessClose("processname")

;ProcessWaitClose("Deto")

run("spybotsd_advcheck.exe")

winwaitactive("Spybot - Search & Destroy Library Update Setup: Installation Folder","Space required: 574.0KB")

Help file quote:

Return Value

Success: Returns the roundtrip-time in milliseconds ( greater than 0 ).

Failure: Returns 0 if host is not pingable or other network errors occurred and sets @error. (See Remarks)

Remarks

When the function fails (returns 0) @error contains extended information:

1 = Host is offline

2 = Host is unreachable

3 = Bad destination

4 = Other errors

You have used a wrong statement:

The correct one will be either:

select
    case $ping=0
        Mouseclick("left",52,203,1,0)
        dim $Updt="n"
    case Else
        dim $Updt="j"
endselect

or

dim $ping=ping("89.238.64.39")
If @error Then
    Mouseclick("left",52,203,1,0)
    dim $Updt="n"
Else
    dim $Updt="j"
EndIf

You cannot use such a thing like "case $ping=@error" because @error is not a "return value" of this command.
