Autoit Help (daemon tools)

[x-Shadow-x]

Well im making an autoit for daemon tools, well here it is.

Run("DAEMONTools.exe")
WinWait("DAEMON Tools Pro Advanced Edition 4.10.0218","Welcome to the DAEMON")
Send("{ENTER}")
WinWait("DAEMON Tools Pro Advanced Edition 4.10.0218","Please review the license")
Send("{ENTER}")
WinWait("DAEMON Tools Pro Advanced Edition 4.10.0218","Choose which feature")
Send("{TAB}{DOWN}{DOWN}{SPACE}{DOWN}{DOWN}{SPACE}{ENTER}")
WinWait("DAEMON Tools Pro Advanced Edition 4.10.0218","Choose Install Locat")
Send("{ENTER}")
WinWait("DAEMON Tools Pro Advanced Edition 4.10.0218","In order to install")
Send("{ENTER}")
WinWait("Select personal key file to use")
Send("c:\dtemp\key.4100218{ENTER}")
WinWait("DAEMON Tools Pro Advanced Edition 4.10.0218","Completing the DAEMON")
Send("{space}{ENTER}")
exit

I want to make it a silent install but when I put the ,"",@SW_HIDE behind "DAEMONTools.exe", It just hangs. ANy suggestions?

Yes, don't hide it. The Windows must be visible, that's the nature of AutoIt. You will never get a "silent" install, but you will find your unattended issues just vanished.

Please look at these topics:

How do i hide the install window in autoit

Can i use autoit ...

In the initial code above, Send() requires an active and visible window to send to so I would at least expect WinWaitActive() to be used. WinWait() only waits for the window to appear. Look at WinWait(), WinActivate() and WinWaitActive() when using Send() or Mouse*() functions.

You can hide an automated installation with AutoIt depending on various conditions that the certain installer allows. You may need to look at using WinWait() with the Control*() functions to achieve this. WinMove() and WinSetTrans() may be worth a look at using. Just about anything is possible with using AutoIt as you just need to understand how to do it.

Thanks for that, MHz, I certainly stand corrected (never say never ). In hindsight I do recall folks using the WinMove() function--but forgot about it--but never noticed WinSetTrans() in the help file's function reference. Very nice, I'm going to have to start playing with that!

Ah thanks MHz, I will try in a bit.

Hi all

After reading autoit documentation I thought of creating my own Daemon Tools Pro Advanced Edition autoit script, starting from x-shadow's script. This is for the latest Daemon Tools Pro 4.30.0303. I thought of running DT Pro Agent at last. By the way I bought the app.

Here it is:

Run("DTPro4300303.exe")

WinWait("DAEMON Tools Pro 4.30.0303","Please select a language.")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWait("DAEMON Tools Pro 4.30.0303","Welcome to the DAEMON Tools Pro 4.30.0303 Setup Wizard")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWait("DAEMON Tools Pro 4.30.0303","Please review the license")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWait("DAEMON Tools Pro 4.30.0303","Choose Components")

Send("{TAB}{DOWN}{SPACE}{DOWN}{SPACE}{DOWN}{SPACE}{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}")

WinWait("DAEMON Tools Pro 4.30.0303","Choose Install Location")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWait("DAEMON Tools Pro activation")

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWait("Select key-file")

Send("dtproAdv.key{ENTER}{TAB}{TAB}name@somemail.com{TAB}{TAB}{SPACE}")

WinWait("DAEMON Tools Pro 4.30.0303","Completing the DAEMON")

Send("{SPACE}{ENTER}")

Run("C:\Program Files\DAEMON Tools Pro\DTProAgent.exe")

exit

This just installs DT Pro without anything else. Just the first option/component is checked. If you want extra options modify this line starting from Send:

WinWait("DAEMON Tools Pro 4.30.0303","Choose Components")

Send("{TAB}{DOWN}{SPACE}{DOWN}{SPACE}{DOWN}{SPACE}{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}")

Replace dtproAdv.key with your own key name and name@somemail.com with your registered email address.

Greets,
