kalle_mod Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi guysI'm trying to install reg-mech with AutoIt v.3 but it says "error on line -1 could not execute external program - the system could not find the file specified"I attach my script and i'm absolutely sure that it is the right filename and both script(.exe) and the file are in the same folder.registry_mechanic1.au3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 $SF_1 = "./registrymech.exe" <-- Your error is in this line here.Try this:$SF_1 = "registrymech.exe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalle_mod Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 still no luck according to my testing...The funny thing is that as far as I remember it works just fine when i test in windows but as soon as it is supposed to run during unattended install of XP it failsKalle_modregistrymech1.au3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) Ahhhhhhhhh thats your issue too. Windows does not recognize the au3 file normally therefore it cannot run it as it has no clue what to do. You must compile to an exe.$SF_1 = "registrymech.exe"Run($SF_1)If WinExists( $SF_1 ) Then ExitAutoItWinSetTitle ( $SF_1)WinWait("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Welcome to the Regis")If Not WinActive("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Welcome to the Regis") Then WinActivate("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Welcome to the Regis")WinWaitActive("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Welcome to the Regis")Send("{ALTDOWN}n{ALTUP}")WinWait("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Please read the foll")If Not WinActive("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Please read the foll") Then WinActivate("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Please read the foll")WinWaitActive("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Please read the foll")Send("{ALTDOWN}an{ALTUP}")WinWait("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Select Destination L")If Not WinActive("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Select Destination L") Then WinActivate("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Select Destination L")WinWaitActive("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Select Destination L")Send("{ALTDOWN}n{ALTUP}")WinWait("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Select Additional Ta")If Not WinActive("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Select Additional Ta") Then WinActivate("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Select Additional Ta")WinWaitActive("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Select Additional Ta")Send("{ALTDOWN}i{ALTUP}")WinWait("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Completing the Regis")If Not WinActive("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Completing the Regis") Then WinActivate("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Completing the Regis")WinWaitActive("Setup - Registry Mechanic","Completing the Regis")Send("{SPACE}{ALTDOWN}f{ALTUP}")Compiled into an exe and in the same folder as : registrymech.exe works just fine.

kalle_mod Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 well I dont want to sound rude but of course I compile my script(with AutoIt) to an exe before putting it in the iso file but it is much easier for you guys to find errors in the au3 file than in the exe file Kalle_mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Opera set as default browser. In this case, that option don't appearwhen I have installed Registry Mechanic. Installer detect which is default browser and if I.E. is that, will offer to install Google Toolbar for I.E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know in registry where I can set the default browser. Maybe we can make a false value and restore it at the end of the installation.

I can do this task very easy in AutoIt, but in batch scripting no. Edited March 1, 2008 by radix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
