Great forum guys!
This is my first post and it is about the way to close a window that opens exactly after the istallation of a speller+hyphenator!
I managed the installation switches but in the end a folder named NLT4OfficeXP is been created on the desktop and opens (as a simple window)!
I cant find the right way to close that window!

It seems easy but i have not the experience to use the taskill!
Suppose you had a FOLDER (any folder not the explorer) on the desktop, double click it and then... how you close it?
I am working on RunOnceEx and i used this:


REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Greek Speller for Office 2003" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%PP%greekspeller\NLT4OfficeXPW.exe /SP- /SILENT "f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 2 /D "taskkill /IM NLT4OfficeXP" /f

Thanks in advance!

taskkill??

use pskill , put it in $OEM$/System32 folder and call it,

Do a search on pskill
coscongr
I already knew about Pskill but...
when i use "pskill.exe -t NLT4Of~1.exe" /f or "pskill.exe -t NLT4OfficeXP.exe"
nothing happens

when i use "pskill.exe -t explorer.exe" /f
it works but the unattended installation process STOPS.

WHAT I NEED:
examples

or

the command line to pskill that folder which opens right after my programm installation (named:NLT4OfficeXp)

as i said i thing it is very simple but i can't figure it out.

my only reservation using those proggies is that taskkill and pskill are to kill processes, and yes the window that pops up is a process, but it's an explorer.exe process (afaik). You kill that, and you would drop the start bar and everything, and then wait for it to reload. During the process of installing things, that might generate unforseen problems

Why not just make a Autoit script to close it?
coscongr
By the way, is there any other switch that I could use in order to avoid that pop up window of explorer.exe?

I mean beside the switches I’ve already used
/SP- /SILENT
anything more…?

Am I stuck here with that window?
You see I took a look of AutoIt and ooops!
what is all that?
I don’t have any experience of that, so I can not take an action!

A little late but i'm back

To whom ever concidered thanks to RoqueSpear i found the NirCmd

Did great job to me. rolleyes.gif


For closing all your Explorer windows (My Computer, folders, and so on)
the command on Start/Run will be:
nircmd.exe win close class "CabinetWClass"

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 2 /D "taskkill /IM NLT4OfficeXP" /f


In all your other examples you use *.exe while you don't do it when typing the above command. I'm pretty sure that's the fault. I always use *.filetype when I use taskkill and I've never had any probs.

So it's supposed to be

CODE
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 2 /D "taskkill /IM NLT4OfficeXP.exe" /f

Hope that helps!

In AutoIt it would be

CODE
ProcessClose ( "NLT4OfficeXP.exe" )
