hi GeneralMandible

I would like to see how your scripts work, do you mind if you post the source?

Thanks in advance.

[Help with patchlink]

Just wanted to take this time and introduce myself. I'm a newbie to AutoIt and think it's a very cool program.

Also I have been working on a script and if anyone can help me out I'll Appreciate it, working on xp sp2 pro.

Ok, So here it is.

DriveMapAdd("o:","\\server",8,"myusername","password")

dim $tab, $enter, $space

$tab = "{tab}"

$space= "{space}"

$enter="{enter}"

$alt="{alt}"

;running command

Run("cmd.exe")

send($space)

send("O:" & $enter)

;activating patchlink

send("UpdateAgent.msi" & $enter )

;exiting cmd

send("exit" & $enter )

;waiting for patchlink to initialize - only one window title

WinWait("PatchLink Update Agent - InstallShield Wizard")

Send($alt)

Send("!N")

Send("!A")

Send("!N")

Send("!N")

;sends the install command

send("!i")

send("!f")

winwaitnotactive("PatchLink Update Agent - InstallShield Wizard")

DriveMapdel("o:")

the problem occurs when the installation finishes. The "!f" never executes, requiring a user to be present. I will continue to look at the autoit bible. Thanks in advance. : D, forgot to note that I don't want to use sleep(), for all machines are not the same. Thanks again
