Thank you Rudi, yes, I have done this but there are situations where the installer encounters conditions where it needs to prompt for user input, and other times when it does not. I need to be able to detect these. I'm really stuck... anyone know why this bitrock installer isn't visible to autoit? Thanks

Hi, I am trying to automate the installation of an application delivered using the BitRock installation program. Au3Info (and autoit itself) can see NO INFORMATION AT ALL except the window dimensions and the title. I have tried WinDetectHiddenText on but to no avail. No text is "visible" to autoit at all... it makes it nigh on impossible to test for specific conditions and act accordingly. Has anyone come across anything like this before and does anyone have any advice please?

SadBunny, Uten, Ooops! Elementary batch file programming! *blush* Thanks for your time {Shuffles off mumbling to himself, "How long have I been in IT?... 27 years... *sigh*}

Yeah, I suppose so but it's a bit "eeewww". Still, the old ways work I suppose. Thanks

My real low tech solution is to run this script at system startup opt("TrayIconHide",1) While 1 Sleep(60000) WEnd Func onAutoItExit() ; Add things to do when the system shuts down here, but be fairly quick ; EndFunc I said it was low tech!

Hi, I want to run a compiled autoit program from a batch file and have execution of the batch file wait for the autoit to complete (like the like the AutoIt RunWait command!). How can i do this? By default (at least on my vista machine) it runs asyncronously. Thanks Adrian

cdkid, Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Just what I was looking for. Many, many thanks!!!! Adrian
