I've upgraded Outpost to 2.1, and the installer changed and the script doesnt work anymore... grrrrrrrr...

I just run the installer with "/s" and then wait for the window "Do you want to reboot?" and then send the Escape key...

good luck

[edmoncu]

quite complex scripts you made...

im using now outpost 2.1, and this is the script i made, i wonder if there's anything i missed.

Run, OutpostProInstall.exe /sHideAutoItDebug, OffWinKill, Install, This system must be restarted to complete the installation. Press OK button to restart this computer. Press Cancel to return to Windows without restarting.

i made this to an executable (via the aut2exe utility).

[big_gie]

yeah thats what I'm using (kind of...) I don't have it below me so I can't compare...

But instead of killing the app, I just send the key "espace" ({ESC}) and it stop buging me

I'd love it to use MSI...

As you can see on their forum (wich is actually down), they don't intend Outpost to be used by companies, only normal users, wich normaly doesn't use silent installation... Thats really sad!

Hope their will be a better way around...

[edmoncu]

i made a revision of the autoit script on my outpost installation that automatically processes the proper files/shortcuts.

RunWait, OutpostProInstall.exe /sWinActivate, InstallSend, {ESC}WinWaitClose, Install,,5FileCreateDir, %UserProfile%\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Outpost Firewall Pro 2.1FileCopy, %systemdrive%\\Agnitum\\Outpost Firewall Pro 2.1\\*.*, %UserProfile%\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Outpost Firewall Pro 2.1\\*.*, 1FileDelete, %systemdrive%\\Agnitum\\Outpost Firewall Pro 2.1\\*.*FileRemoveDir, %systemdrive%\\Agnitum\\Outpost Firewall Pro 2.1FileRemoveDir, %systemdrive%\\Agnitum[ADLIB]Install,, Send, {ESC}

the problem is that... during the execution of the script under runonceex.cmd, it just pauses at the outpost installation. i had to manually press ctrl+alt+del (w/c runs task manager) and the script suddenly resumes running. i wonder why is that so, or what lines on the script that causes the script to pause.

i mean, during the running of the task manager, when i checked at the processes on the processes pane, i noticed that aside from the task manager, OutpostProInstall.exe is active as well (and for unknown reasons, it seems paused as well). and after a couple of seconds that the task manager has been opened, the script suddenly resumes running.

*bump*

anybody have similar problems with using autoit with outpost 2.1 on an unttended xp install? can you share us your autoit scripts? thanks

#Include SendToWindow.aut

The file is in <cdrom>\Programmes\autoit and outpost is in <cdrom>\Programmes\outpost\outpost.exe

This will run the installer with the "/s" switch witch install silently, and then wait for the "Please reboot the computer" window to apear and will send the escape key, thous canceling it.

good luck

[edmoncu]

man, thanks very much for showing me this script. btw, what version of autoit script is this? thanks again.

[edmoncu]

@big_gie, i was wondering, what's this line for?

#Include SendToWindow.aut

may i also know the name of the script?

edit: i tried my luck with using autoit v3 and here's my script for outpost.

Run("OutpostProInstall.exe /s")WinWait("Install", "This system must be restarted to complete the installation. Press the OK button to restart this computer. Press Cancel to return to Windows without restarting.")If WinExists("Install") Then WinActivate("Install") Send("{ESC}")EndIf

[big_gie]

The code I posted was for AutoIT v2.

@edmoncu

AutoIT inst this bright, it wont send keys to the window but to the active window. So if someone change the window focus, then it will fail... Thats why I used SendToWindow.aut posted in this thread. It will activate the window before each keys is sent, so if someone change the window focus it will get back. You could just freeze the mouse...

[edmoncu]

@big_gie

i am compiling the AutoIt script as an executable. if ever i am to use your main script and compile it as an executable, does it also include the SendToWindow.aut to the same executable? I am sorry if i keep on asking, i'm kinda at the beginner stage at making AutoIt scripts. :blush: thanks very much for your continuing help.

[big_gie]

I think so... I don't why it wouldnt!

[edmoncu]

i was wondering, shall i compile both *.aut file as an exe? or should i compile only the main *.aut file? thanks.
