AutoIt Problem

[rmmastermind]

First, Hi to all (I'm new here)

I want to install my favorite game with autoit (with the original dvd)

My script for silent install of my game is done but I'd like to AutoIt retrive my CDRom letter then launch the setup exe

I used this code (batch file)wich occures me a lot of problem(...I'll won't explain it but after many changes I founded no issues), after, launching my compiled script wich installmy game :

FOR %%a in (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do IF EXIST %%a:\PKBE_Setup.exe set CDROM=%%a:

"%CDROM%\PKBE_Setup.exe"

I'm looking for the same code in AutoIt language

My setup is PKBE_Setup.exe (in the root of the dvd)

I launch my compiled script from a batch file (from a cd on my other cdrom drive)

I hope someone will help me because I'm unable to write this code

I made a little search on the board with 'drivegetdrive' (my other seachs was with 'autoit') and I founded that :

$CD = DriveGetDrive("CDROM")

For $I=1 to Number($CD[0])

$pa = $CD[$I] & "\win51ip.SP2"

If FileExists($pa) Then

$instDrv=$CD[$I]

Endif

Next

ProcessSetPriority ( "setup.exe", 0)

Run($instDrv & "\$oem$\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe")

ProcessWait("WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe")

RunWait($instDrv & "\$oem$\SetupCopyOEMInf.exe " & $instDrv & "\$oem$\Drivers")

ProcessClose("WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe")

ProcessSetPriority ( "setup.exe", 2)

FileDelete(@SystemDir & "\driver.au3")

After changing it's :

$CD = DriveGetDrive("CDROM")

For $I=1 to Number($CD[0])

$pa = $CD[$I] & "\PKBE_Setup.exe"

If FileExists($pa) Then

$instDrv=$CD[$I]

Endif

Next

Run($instDrv & "\PKBE_Setup.exe")

It seems to work ; I will say you if it works great (because i install the game during windows xp installation...)

Thx

Nice to see that you helped yourself out. Just one thing is you should check @error after using DriveGetDrive() and before using the array to prevent a soft error message from AutoIt which can halt the operation.

I did some changes and was left with this

Global $CD_Letter

$CD_Letter = File_In_CD_Root("PKBE_Setup.exe")

If $CD_Letter Then
	RunWait($CD_Letter & "\PKBE_Setup.exe")
EndIf

Exit

Func File_In_CD_Root($file)
	Local $I, $CD
	$CD = DriveGetDrive("CDROM")
	If Not @error Then
		For $I = 1 to $CD[0]
			If FileExists($CD[$I] & "\" & $file) Then
				Return $CD[$I]
			Endif
		Next
	EndIf
EndFunc

Good luck

I try and take this code if it works...thx

What would be nice is :

If the error comes... have a message box with "it's not the good cd; inser the cd "my game" and press ok" and then when ok is pressed my sript begin again...(even not checking the cdlabel, if my setup.exe doesn't exist, it's not the good cd...)

Any help ?

Perhaps my FindCD() UDF here may help you with the message box warnings.
