If you use "wsname" all you need to do is run as follows wsname.exe /N:$SERIALNUM or wsname.exe /N:$ASSETTAG etc etc

try a piece of software called "wsname.exe" this will rename the machine for you in multiple ways, depending what naming convention you use

Well I miss spelt your name, sorry... i can understand your script... and its wrong lol

Hi I have done the task a different way, not in AutoIT Thanks for help HKISH

Hi This does execute [well the autoIT wrapper does] on the machine but the {printer.exe delete "*" "TREE*"} does not run, if I copy that same command to the run or into a dos box it executes fine

Hi I am trying to create either a RunAS or RunAsWait to run a command line I cope an exe file to the local machine, then run it using the following command line, printer.exe delete "*" "\\TREE\*" I cannot get the syntax to work in AutoIT though, can anyone help? Cheers

Hi all I have sorted this now, thanks for all the help

Thanks..... I have managed to get the new server name to insert, but the example name simply moves to rhe right.. I need my new server name to over write the example, or to delete the example before it writes my new name... Any ideas? Thanks

Hi all This is likely a simple one but I just cant seem to find the answer.. I have written an installer and all works well, but on one input screen I need to insert a server name. I have the server name and need this to be added to the correct input box. how do I script this to be done automaticaly? Thanks

Hi Syed23 Is there a reason 2 arrays need to be used? keith

Thanks forumer100 I have changed it very slightly to $key = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\" For $i = 1 To 99999 $tempkey = RegEnumKey($key, $i) If @error Then ExitLoop $Displayname = RegRead($key & $tempkey, "DisplayName") $DisplayVersion = RegRead($key & $tempkey, "DisplayVersion") $UninstallString = RegRead($key & $tempkey, "UninstallString") ConsoleWrite($Displayname & @LF & $DisplayVersion & @LF & $UninstallString & @LF & @CRLF & @CRLF) Next however it still does not display keys that use {} only names... the app all ways installs as {this string changes} thanks Keith

Sorry I ment ProductGuid The package leaves registry entries HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CruuentVersion\Unnstall\{this string is different each time} ....i.e no vendor name therefore I need to search within all the entries for SoftwareID or DisplayName & DisplayVersion, then I need the UninstallString from within thanks

Hi thanks for speedy reply, but this will only ready entries with names such as Abobe, Microsoft etc it will not read entries with starting and ending {} thanks Keith

Hi I am trying to write a script that will uninstall a software package. the package generates a different ProductCode on each machine and each time its installed so I cannot use this as a reference. I have been using _RegSearch [with help from PsaltyDS] what I need is a script that would work something like, $www = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" $xxx = "DisplayName" $yyy = "DisplayVersion" $zzz = "UninstallString" search on the above then give the UninstallString as an other variable to then allow "Msiexec /X $mmm....etc" to be run thanks

I have now added a second array array 1 gives 2 results array 2 gives 2 results between the 2 I have the 3 required, I just need to merge the 2, or add a section to one, thia is what I have up to now #include <Array.au3> Global $sUninstallKey = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" Global $sValName = "UninstallString" Global $sName = "DisplayName" ; Get array of all "UninstallString" values $aUninstallKeys = _RegSearch($sUninstallKey, $sValName, 2, True) ; 2 = Match on Value Names only, True = return array $aUninstallKeys2 = _RegSearch($sUninstallKey, $sName, 2, True) ; 2 = Match on Value Names only, True = return array ; Create 2D array for data Global $aUninstallStrings[UBound($aUninstallKeys)][2] = [[$aUninstallKeys[0], ""]] Global $aUninstallStrings2[UBound($aUninstallKeys2)][3] = [[$aUninstallKeys2[0], ""]] ; Populate 2D array with value location and data For $n = 3 To $aUninstallKeys[0] $aUninstallStrings[$n][0] = $aUninstallKeys[$n] $aUninstallStrings[$n][1] = RegRead(StringTrimRight($aUninstallStrings[$n][0], StringLen($sValName)), $sValName) $aUninstallStrings2[$n][2] = RegRead(StringTrimRight($aUninstallStrings2[$n][0], StringLen($sName)), $sName) Next for $n = 3 To $aUninstallKeys2[0] $aUninstallStrings2[$n][0] = $aUninstallKeys2[$n] $aUninstallStrings2[$n][1] = RegRead(StringTrimRight($aUninstallStrings2[$n][0], StringLen($sName)), $sName) Next ; Display results _ArrayDisplay($aUninstallStrings) _ArrayDisplay($aUninstallStrings2)

Thanks44As I say I am very now to this You say I can use only four parameters, does this mean I connot search the way I want ie 1st search = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall 2nd search = Display name or software name 3rd search = UninstallString Or am I just doing it worng? Thanks for you help PsaltyDS Keith

Hi I came up with this, but it fails #include <Array.au3> Global $sUninstallKey = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" Global $sValName = "Flare" Global $sValData = "UninstallString" ; Get array of all "UninstallString" values $aUninstallKeys = _RegSearch($sUninstallKey, $sValName, $sValData, 4, True) ; 2 = Match on Value Names only, True = return array ; Create 2D array for data Global $aUninstallStrings[uBound($aUninstallKeys)][2] = [[$aUninstallKeys[0], ""]] ; Populate 2D array with value location and data For $n = 2 To $aUninstallKeys[0] $aUninstallStrings[$n][0] = $aUninstallKeys[$n] $aUninstallStrings[$n][1] = RegRead(StringTrimRight($aUninstallStrings[$n][0], StringLen($sValName)), $sValName) $aUninstallStrings[$n][2] = RegRead(StringTrimRight($aUninstallStrings[$n][0], StringLen($sValData)), $sValData) Next

Also, how would I have the output as a value[string] rather than an array? thanks Keith

Hi Thanks, I did say I was new to this... One more thing, is it possible to add a search to this, si it searches like this... 1st search = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall 2nd search = Display name or software name 3rd search = UninstallString thanks for all the help Keith

Hi I get an error C:\Users\KeithDib\Desktop\New AutoIt v3 Script (5).au3(19,64) : ERROR: _RegSearch(): undefined function. $aUninstallKeys = _RegSearch($sUninstallKey, $sValName, 2, True) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^ C:\Users\KeithDib\Desktop\New AutoIt v3 Script (5).au3 - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) cheers

I wish I knew how to do that, I am new to this thanks

Hi This is really useful script, thanks But how can I add and extra variable? I want to add an extra level of search... so I want it to search in the uninstall key [allready achived] then search for a certain app vendor [again I have done this] but I also want to add another key value.. the "UninstallString" this is so I can scan for this to use to uninstall an application from multiple machines [the app does not allways use the same uninstall string] thanks KeithDib

HI even a simple script like this SplashTextOn("title","another splash") Sleep("5000") only stays open during the sleep command and shuts itself down, a "SplashOff" doen not seem to be required I have an installation running after this but the splash text closes before this starts, I want it to stay open till I turn it off

Hi How do I keep a SplashTextOn window open while the script continues? I have tried but the window only stays open during the sleep command and closes, I want it to stay open till it completes other functions then I can close with SplashOff thanks Keith

Thanks, but that didnt work I found a post on here and used this ControlSend(WinGetHandle("[active]"), "", "[CLASS:obj_EDIT; INSTANCE:3]", "windows") Thanks anyway Keith
