Converting Batch-CMD Commands into AutoIt..?

[cypher175]

Is there anyway to convert CMD-Batch commands into autoIt commands at all..??

If not then how do I pass commands from Autoit to be ran in CMD..??

I do not know if there is something like this.

Why do not you let in the same format (*.BAT) and run it from AutoIt.

Hey cypher175,

You could post the Bat / Au3 example you are trying to achieve,

There are tons of ways to do what you wan't but it would help if you were

more specific.

There is a great deal to the CMD-Batch request.

You could also use an Au3 script to generate a bat on the fly, this would

help you make subtle changes to the bat file. Once finished you could delete it.

Ok tangent over

Hi guys,

Sorry to bring this topic up again but i have a simple batch file which I want to place within an au3 file.

This is the commands in the bat file.

msiexec /qn /i t:\pcbackup\MEL\melagentsetup.msi ldapid=%username%

I have tried the follwing in the au3 script to no avail. I am not sure how to run the ldap part of it.

ShellExecute ('msiexec.exe /qn /i t:\pcbackup\BNE\BNEagentsetup.msi ldapid=%username%',"")

CheerS!

Try:

ShellExecute("msiexec.exe", "/qn /i t:\pcbackup\BNE\BNEagentsetup.msi ldapid=" & @UserName)

EDIT: didn't notice username at first.

Hi Danwilli,

You are a legend, it works!! However, only small problem. When using that format, the install splash screen I have which says Please wait while installing doesn't appear, only the "PCBackup has been successfully installed... appears straight away when the install kicks off and disappears before the install finishes. Do you know how to keep the "please wait while installing splash screen" on during the install, then disappears when the install is complete then launching the "PCbackup has been successfully installed" splash screen when the install is complete?

#include <array.au3>

If ProcessExists( "EXCEL.EXE" ) Then ExitMsg(0) EndIf

If ProcessExists( "POWERPNT.EXE" ) Then ExitMsg(0) EndIf

If FileExists("C:\Program Files\Iron Mountain\Connected BackupPC\CBUtil.dll") Then

$ver = FileGetVersion("C:\Program Files\Iron Mountain\Connected BackupPC\CBUtil.dll"); Get version of target file If file does not exist returns 0.0.0.0

if $ver < "8.2.2.5246" then ; Compare file version

Runwait('msiexec.exe /uninstall "T:\PCBackup\AgentSetup.msi" /passive');uninstall process

Configure() ;install process

Exit

Either have the app watch for a specific window to know the install is done, or watch your process list durring the install... what is the last executable running durring the install? You could wait until that exists and then wait until it no longer exists to know that the install is finished.

Hi there,

I only want the splash screen to appear during the select case install areas.

This part of the script here if it does run will have its own uninstall screen so no splash is needed.

If FileExists("C:\Program Files\Iron Mountain\Connected BackupPC\CBUtil.dll") Then

$ver = FileGetVersion("C:\Program Files\Iron Mountain\Connected BackupPC\CBUtil.dll"); Get version of target file If file does not exist returns 0.0.0.0

if $ver < "8.2.2.5246" then ; Compare file version

Runwait('msiexec.exe /uninstall "T:\PCBackup\AgentSetup.msi" /passive');uninstall process

However when it does go and run the configure() parts of the script, I want the splash to appear then close once it is completed

Ok Hey Danwilli,

I worked it out. All I had to do was change the shellexecute command to shellexecutewait

Thanks again for your assistance.
