Simon43 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hi, I've been trying to run a small file that uses the InetGet command. All I want to do is to download an exe file from a website and then run it automatically. So I've been using the example in the help file, having converted it to an exe file. InetGet("http://www.innthai.com/logger/InnThaiLogger1.exe", "C:\InnThaiLogger1.exe", 1, 1) While @InetGetActive TrayTip("Downloading", "Bytes = " & @InetGetBytesRead, 10, 16) Sleep(250) Wend Run("C:\InnThaiLogger1.exe") I found that with the Help file example, the process stopped at the example file line: MsgBox(0, "Bytes read", @InetGetBytesRead) unles I pressed carriage return.. I didn't need to see this bytes read message, so I deleted that line. Now, when I run this AutoIt exe file, it downloads the specified exe file from my website, with the pop-up window displaying the number of bytes downloaded. After the file has been downloaded, it starts to run. But during this installation process, the file is then run again by the AutoIt command!! and then and again every few seconds until my screen is full of installtion prompt messages from the exe file that I'm trying to run!! So, any ideas why this AutoIt script seems to try to run my downloaded file multiple times? Any help is much appreciated! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 this works for me though.... InetGet("http://www.innthai.com/logger/InnThaiLogger1.exe", "C:\InnThaiLogger1.exe", 1, 1) While @InetGetActive TrayTip("Downloading", "Bytes = " & @InetGetBytesRead, 10, 16) Sleep(250) WEnd RunWait("C:\InnThaiLogger1.exe") Exit mouse not found....scroll any mouse to continue.
