1447	AutoIt timesout on winwait when run by Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2008	disaak		"I have a couple AutoIt software installation scripts that timeout when run by a Microsoft Deployment Toolkit task sequence.

The command that fails is WinWait($title, $text, $timeout)
It will timeout even though the window it is waiting for exists.

WinGetTitle(""[ACTIVE]"", """") returns the title of the window
WinGetText(""[ACTIVE]"", """") returns the text of the window

If I take the first window out of the main script and add it to the AdlibRegister(""unexpected"") function, the window is found and dealt with but then the script times out while waiting for the next window.

If I run the script manually while the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit is running, it also times out.
If I run the script manually when the toolkit isn't running it runs like it is supposed to.
Sometimes I can kickstart the script by jiggling the mouse.
I tried using an AutoIt script that jiggles the mouse; it didn't help.

The deployment toolkit runs TsProgressUI.exe which displays a progress bar on top of all other windows. This may be what is causing a conflict with AutoIt.

I tried to find another bug report on this but didn't. I did find one other user with what sounds the same problem in the forums but the was no answer; probably because he didn't give very much info. http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=97308&st=0&p=699510&hl=mdt&fromsearch=1&#entry699510"	Bug	closed		AutoIt	3.3.4.0	None	No Bug
