The last set of switches had a /n which is not right. I have broken down the strings some and added passing fullpath to msiexec if helps. I just would do one check for working directory at start of script and just once for EnvGet() as well. Through revising your script, I'm not sure if I fixed anything by changing it with double quote changes etc. I would recommend that you double check your switches though msiexec normally pops up if a syntax error exists. I also removed the "REBOOT=reallysuppress" as your already using /norestart. Global $log, $switches, $systemdrive = EnvGet('SYSTEMDRIVE') If @WorkingDir <> @ScriptDir Then FileChangeDir(@ScriptDir) EndIf ;.NET Framework 2.0 is installed before ;~ $log = '/l "' & $systemdrive & '\dotnetfx30_dotnetfx20.log"' ;~ $switches = '/q /c:"install.exe" /Q ' & $log ;~ RunWait('"' & @ScriptDir & '\wcu\dotnetFramework\dotnetfx.exe" ' & $switches) $log = '/log "' & $systemdrive & '\dotnetfx30_msxml.log"' $switches = '/qn /norestart ADDLOCAL=ALL ' & $log RunWait('msiexec -i "' & @ScriptDir & '\wcu\MSXML\msxml6.msi" ' & $switches) $log = '/log "' & $systemdrive & '\dotnetfx30_rgbrast.log"' $switches = '/qn /norestart ADDLOCAL=ALL ' & $log RunWait('msiexec -i "' & @ScriptDir & '\wcu\RGBRAST\x86\RGB9RAST_x86.msi" ' & $switches) $log = '/log "' & $systemdrive & '\dotnetfx30_wic.log"' $switches = '/quiet /norestart /nobackup /overwriteoem NOVSUI=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL ' & $log RunWait('"' & @ScriptDir & '\wcu\WIC\WIC_X86_ENU.exe" ' & $switches) $log = '/log "' & $systemdrive & '\dotnetfx30_dotnetfx30.log"' $switches = '/qn /norestart NOVSUI=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL ' & $log RunWait('msiexec -i "' & @ScriptDir & '\vs_setup.msi" ' & $switches) $log = '/log:"' & $systemdrive & '\dotnetfx30_xps.log"' $switches = '/quiet /norestart /nobackup /overwriteoem ' & $log RunWait('"' & @ScriptDir & '\wcu\XPS\XPSEPSC-x86-en-US.exe" ' & $switches) $log = '/l "' & $systemdrive & '\dotnetfx30_wcf.log"' $switches = '/q ' & $log RunWait('"' & @ScriptDir & '\wcu\WCF\wcf.exe" ' & $switches) $log = '/log "' & $systemdrive & '\dotnetfx30_wpf.log"' $switches = '/qn /norestart STANDALONE=no ADDLOCAL=ALL ' & $log RunWait('msiexec -i "' & @ScriptDir & '\wcu\WPF\wpf.msi" ' & $switches) $log = '/log "' & $systemdrive & '\dotnetfx30_wf.log"' $switches = '/qn /norestart ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1 STANDALONE=no ADDLOCAL=ALL ' & $log RunWait('msiexec -i "' & @ScriptDir & '\wcu\WF\WF_3.0_x86.msi" ' & $switches) Notice how I use single quotes to wrap the double quotes for ease.

Thanks for the notification. It has now been updated to latest Alcohol 1.9.6.4629. Just use same link as before.

If you want to do it unattended, then you can do it as Shark has mentioned of archiving the mozilla folder in %appdir% or you would repack the extensions into the install package and modify the config.ini to install them. CCK is used for custom config installs so have a look at it. CCK instructions here for using config.ini. You could use FEBE and CLEO to help with general backing up or saving xpi files into a single xpi file.

AFAIK, nothing unattended. The switch is used for Global install of extensions.

Check the @error macro. If it errors then it does not exist or it is unable to read. RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lavasoft", "") If Not @error Then RunWait('"' & @ScriptDir & '\spybot.exe" /verysilent') Else RunWait('"' & @ScriptDir & '\ad-aware.exe" /s') EndIf

Below is the default I have in registry. Removing the "whole key" as previously shown would not be a good idea as you will remove everything else under that key. [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile] "NeverShowExt"=""

http://dev4pc.com/installer2go.html I use Installer2Go. Not compelled to register as it remains fully functional.

Example 2 changed to suit. Ensure you have SysTray_UDF.au3 next to your script when you run it and it will include it. If compiled, the include file will be included in the executable. ; -- Example 2 -- #NoTrayIcon #include "SysTray_UDF.au3" Run("daemon.exe") $st_process = "daemon.exe"; change this if needed _SysTrayIconRemove(_SysTrayIconIndex($st_process)) ; Note that only the icon was removed; process still should be running

Daemon Tools has a setting to disable the systray icon, but if this is a general question then have a look at the link for UDFs that enable your script to work with the systray icon. http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...&hl=systray

If you think Autoit Info Tool is useless then you may as well give up now. Autoit Info Tool is helping to identify and confirm exactly what the problem is. Sometimes problems hide themselves well to what we can see. Place the Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1) at the top of the script and try it again. When installation stops at the window, then move your mouse over the systray icon to see the line that the script stops at. A tooltip will popup will show the line. As above, add this line... Opt('TrayIconDebug', 1) ...and remove this line else you will have no systray icon. AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1) Looking at your picture, the last WinWait() looks correct. It does not seem logical that the script is waiting for the last window but perhaps a previous WinWait() in the script. Edit: Looking at the script again, I would guess that you may already have QuickTime Installed and that the window does not appear to inform that "QuickTime 6 is required". That would hang the installation. In that case, try this script that uses Adlib to check for the QuickTime Window. Run('msiexec /i "' & @ScriptDir & '\Adobe Illustrator CS2.msi"') ; Welcome dialog. If WinWait("Adobe Illustrator CS2 - Setup", "The InstallShield(R) Wizard will install Adobe Illustrator CS2", 60) Then ControlClick("Adobe Illustrator CS2 - Setup", "The InstallShield(R) Wizard will install Adobe Illustrator CS2", "Button1") ; License Agreement. WinWait("Adobe Illustrator CS2 - License Agreement") ControlClick("Adobe Illustrator CS2 - License Agreement", "", "Button5") ; Customer Information. WinWait("Adobe Illustrator CS2 - Setup", "The following information must be entered before installation") ControlClick("Adobe Illustrator CS2 - Setup", "The following information must be entered before installation", "Button2") ; Destination Folder. WinWait("Adobe Illustrator CS2 - Setup", "Destination Folder") ControlClick("Adobe Illustrator CS2 - Setup", "Destination Folder", "Button1") ; Ready to Install the Program. WinWait("Adobe Illustrator CS2 - Setup", "Ready to Install the Program") ControlClick("Adobe Illustrator CS2 - Setup", "Ready to Install the Program", "Button1") Sleep(5000) AdlibEnable('_Adlib', 500) ; InstallShield Wizard Completed. WinWait("Adobe Illustrator CS2 - Setup", "InstallShield Wizard Completed") ControlClick("Adobe Illustrator CS2 - Setup", "InstallShield Wizard Completed", "Button3") AdlibDisable() EndIf Exit Func OnAutoItStart() ; Single script instance only If WinExists(@ScriptName & '_Interpreter') Then Exit AutoItWinSetTitle(@ScriptName & '_Interpreter') EndFunc Func _Adlib() ; QuickTime 6 is required. If WinExists("Adobe Illustrator CS2 - Setup", "QuickTime 6 is required") Then ControlClick("Adobe Illustrator CS2 - Setup", "QuickTime 6 is required", "Button1") EndIf EndFunc

If AutoIt is still running and it has stopped on the last window then AutoIt may not have recognized the last window with the strings used in the last WinWait(). You can run through the installation and use AutoIt Info Tool to check the Title, Text and ClassnameNN used and correct as needed.

Fast Explorer may help to clean it up. I do not use it much as preventing pollution with install scripts that delete or hide the entries makes the problem go away. Fast Explorer has some other beneficial features also. Thanks for the vote of improvement. Users now have choice of using either SendToA3X or CMenu. Updated SendToA3X to v1.1 so please see 1st post for details. Added an item to tidy (optimize) install scripts that I sometimes see posted here created by Au3Recorder. Also suppressed showing the systray icons as not needed in general use.

Yeah, looks like my work. Nice move on sharing a unattended SPTD installer. Keep it going.

Yagermeister, This is your script optimized some. $SF_1 = "Welcome.exe" If WinExists ( $SF_1 ) Then Exit AutoItWinSetTitle ( $SF_1) Run('Welcome.exe') _WinWaitActive("Studio 9 Plus - InstallShield Wizard","Select the language ") Send("{UP}{ENTER}") _WinWaitActive("Studio 9","Geef de volgende inf") Send("{TAB}blaat{TAB 3}XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX{TAB 3}{SPACE}{TAB 11}{ENTER}") _WinWaitActive("Studio 9 (Pinnacle Systems - Registratie)","") Send("{TAB 5}{ALTDOWN}{ALTUP}{DOWN 2}{ENTER}") _WinWaitActive("Installatie van Windows XP , Version 9.3","Licentieovereenkomst") Send("{TAB 4}{SPACE}{TAB 3}{ENTER}") _WinWaitActive("Installatie van Windows XP , Version 9.3","Selecteer het type i") Send("{ENTER}") _WinWaitActive("Installatie van Windows XP , Version 9.3","Huidige instellingen") Send("{ENTER}") _WinWaitActive("classname=#32770","Bezig met installere") Send("{PAUSE 5}") _WinWaitActive("Vraag","Moet er een shortcut") Send("{ENTER}") _WinWaitActive("Installatie van Windows XP , Version 9.3","Ja, ik wil mijn comp") Send("{DOWN}{ENTER}") Func _WinWaitActive($title, $text = "") WinWait($title, $text) If Not WinActive($title, $text) Then WinActivate($title, $text) EndIf WinWaitActive($title, $text) EndFunc An issue is that you are using a classname for a window title without setting an option to use them as below. Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4) With that window title, I'm not even sure if you should have it within the script and you just press the (PAUSE) keys 5 times? The classname title looks like an explorer window which you can just use WinClose on. I would assume by looking at it that the rest does looks normal. Make sure that a window called "Welcome.exe" is not running when you start your script as it will exit as your first few lines will ensure that. If possible, you may find it better to use AutoItMacroGenerator to generate a script for installations using Control*() functions. AutoItMacroGenerator is an included tool in CMenu, SendToA3X, or the Scite4AutoIt3 editor. Edit: SendToA3X v1.1 has now an item to tidy Au3Recorder generated scripts like the above code as shown above as easy as a wink.

Well ofcourse, you can have both, but surely you do not need both. CMenu will continue to be available for users.

Bad media can cause this. If windows struggles to read it then it goes into a stupid loop. Not a fault of the drive for this. Had same problems years ago with the better made non-taiwanese made sony drives. It took me awhile to eventually say the media is the fault. It is differcult to locate and buy good media now .

Thanks urie, Alternative is a quite true and for a better direction, IMO. Features have been broken down to individual a3x file types and allows for the user to expand with their own. In knowledge of using the inbuilt SendTo extension to make it all work without needing to use the registry. It would be nice to know if 64bit OS users...can now say that it is compatible to use compared to CMenu's restriction on 64bit.

Go to the Run box and type "iexpress". IExpress has support for INF file installations and will pack your files into a SFX archive.

I just had a look at AHK 1.40 installer and it is using the early v3.0...build of the AutoIt3 Aut2Exe compiler which is a few years old.

SendToA3X v1.7 SendToA3X is an alternative to the existing CMenu. Introduction: SendToA3X is a very handy SendTo extension. Adds shortcut links to your SendTo menu for any included extensions and executables. It is so handy, that you will save a lot of time for those tedious tasks, that SendToA3X can do so easy. Look below at all the features for you to enjoy. Features: Uses PEiD, which is able to recognize installer types, if available in it's the database. Identify Installer uses this information, and is able to popup a window to show parameters associated with that installer. Identify Installer can unpack, admin, record, silent installations, if available. And also create a template AutoIt Script, to suit. 7-Zip2Sfx for easily converting 7z archives to self extracting archives. AutoItMacroGenerator is included to handle recording AutoIt scripts for unidentified installers. AutoIt Archive Script can create archive script from a source folder. This allows AutoIt to act like an archiver. AutoIt Execute Script Gui can execute a single au3/a3x file or select from a folder to execute an au3/a3x file. AutoIt Execute Script StdOut can capture the stdout from a au3/a3x file and show a window after execute of the output. Classes By Text can capture the ControlID's from a selected window. Remove comments from AutoIt3 scripts quickly with Comment Remover. Constants Generator retrieves the constants declarations that your AutoIt script only needs. Create a Directory List. Preset or custom options are available. Files can Execute With Parameters, optional working directory, and allowing for different window states. Ini2Au3 quickly converts Ini files into AutoIt syntax. Filenames and paths can be easily sent to the windows clipboard, by using Path To ClipBoard. Reg2Au3 quickly converts Regedit4 exported files into AutoIt3 syntax. RegKey2Au3 quickly converts a Registry Key into AutoIt3 syntax. Convert VBScript to AutoIt3 scripts using Vbs2Au3. Includes PEiD as a separate item also, which allows the user to enhanced portable executable identification. Home page Download page Note: Uses Inno Setup Installer. Use /silent or /VerySilent to install silently. Easily adaptable with creating your own a3x files to increase features. Recommend uninstall previous versions prior to 1.3 to upgrade as the installation structure has changed for Windows Vista compatibility. Bugs and compliments are welcome. Edit: Updated source DllCall parameters that use pointers to prevent warning messages. Innounp updated to v0.20. AutoIt v3.2.12.0 compatible.

Yeah, I've noticed this too with some, but not all, AutoIt scripts. I don't know why this happens, though. Can any UPX/AutoIt/AutoHotkey gurus answer this question? I'm rather curious about this myself. The AutoIt3 compiler that existed before March, 2006 used to search for the script code at a certain address to locate in the executable. The compiler was changed so UPX alternatives and such could be used so now AutoIt searches for tags which give the location to the script code in the executable. The latter does not rely on a fixed address which means decompressing the executable will not destroy the chances of the script code being found. AutoHotKey, AFAIK, would be still using the compiler from AutoIt2 (modified) so decompressing it's executables would make the script code missing and would fail to execute.

Decided not to do it with CMenu, but I have used Inno Setup with the new SendToA3X. I have added most the features from CMenu over to SendToA3X so it uses the inbuilt SendTo extension that Windows uses instead of the 3rd party shell extension. I guess your wish basically come true on using Inno Setup for the move to using SendToA3X. You can get v1.0 from http://uawiki.org/CMenu/ B) Edit: Separate Topic for SendToA3X below for further discussion on it. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=83388

You may have better luck with this $search = FileFindFirstFile('*.cmd') If $search <> -1 Then While 1 $file = FileFindNextFile($search) If @error Then ExitLoop RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & $file & '"', '', @SW_HIDE) WEnd FileClose($search); Close the search handle EndIf ComSpec likes double quotes, not singles, so using single quotes by default and use double quotes as needed within the string works well. Also while I'm here, some other variations. For au3 files (use AutoIt v3.2.0.1 or later) $search = FileFindFirstFile('*.au3') If $search <> -1 Then While 1 $file = FileFindNextFile($search) If @error Then ExitLoop If $file = @ScriptName Then ContinueLoop RunWait(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & $file & '"') WEnd FileClose($search); Close the search handle EndIf or a Multi-FileType $search = FileFindFirstFile('*.*') If $search <> -1 Then While 1 $file = FileFindNextFile($search) If @error Then ExitLoop If $file = @ScriptName Then ContinueLoop Switch StringRight($file, 4) Case '.cmd' RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & $file & '"', '', @SW_HIDE) Case '.au3' RunWait(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & $file & '"') Case '.vbs' RunWait(@SystemDir & '\WScript.exe "' & $file & '"') EndSwitch WEnd FileClose($search); Close the search handle EndIf
