Hi I am trying to install an update through autoit script and during install there will be 4-6 error messages and I need to click "ok" through all of them. My boss tells me that every new update will bring more error messages so I want to create a loop that clicks through all the error messages. I am really new to autoit so is there any tips?

You can add all the possible titles to an array, and loop through this function:

_WinAPI_GetWindow($parentHWND, 6)

it grabs the enabled popup (windows spawned by the parent)...then grab the title of that window, and conditionally act on it based which window it is.

something like:

#include <WinAPI.au3>
While ProcessExists("installer process")
    $hPopup = _WinAPI_GetWindow($parentHWND, 6)
    If $hPopup > 0 Then
        $sTitle = WinGetTitle($hPopup)
        ConsoleWrite($sTitle & @CRLF)
        ; perform action on popup
    EndIf   
WEnd

If all are OK or &OK then this would probably work

#include <WinAPI.au3>

$iPid = Run("installer file")
$parentHWND = ""
$iCurrentPID = 0
Do 
    $aWin = WinList()
    For $i = 0 To UBound($aWin)-1
        _WinAPI_GetWindowThreadProcessId($aWin[$i][1], $iCurrentPID)
        If $iCurrentPID = $iPid Then
            $parentHWND = $aWin[$i][1]
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    Next
Until IsHWnd($parentHWND)


While ProcessExists($iPid)
    $hPopup = _WinAPI_GetWindow($parentHWND, 6)
    If $hPopup > 0 Then
        $sTitle = WinGetTitle($hPopup)
        ConsoleWrite($sTitle & @CRLF)
        $hControl1 = ControlGetHandle($hPopup, "", "OK")
        $hControl2 = ControlGetHandle($hPopup, "", "&OK")
        If IsHWnd($hControl1) Then
            ControlFocus($hPopup, "", $hControl1)
            ControlClick($hPopup, "", $hControl1)
        ElseIf IsHWnd($hControl2) Then
            ControlFocus($hPopup, "", $hControl2)
            ControlClick($hPopup, "", $hControl2)
        Else
            MsgBox(1,1,"can't find an OK button...you will need to debug")
            Exit
        EndIf
        WinWaitClose($hPopup, "", 10)
    EndIf
WEnd

made some small changes

number 6 represents returning the 'enabled popup'

This script will spawn the process, get the parent window, and then continually loop until the process ends...clicking on popups that have button = "OK" or "&OK", and exiting if there is no such button (you will need to add logic if this is the case)

from msdn:

GW_ENABLEDPOPUP 6

The retrieved handle identifies the enabled popup window owned by the specified window (the search uses the first such window found using GW_HWNDNEXT); otherwise, if there are no enabled popup windows, the retrieved handle is that of the specified window.

This is my test code to install notepad++ remotely and it fails to install remotely.. Is there a better way to code this? Also is it possible to repackage the Installer file so that instead of having the installer.exe and the autoit script.exe I can have one .exe that can automatically install?

So I found out that I can't run the installer from autoit but I have to use psexec. Since I am using psexec to open the installer the autoit script can't access the PID of the installer.. Is there a way to pass in the pid or find the pid of the windows that are open?

Use psexec to excute the script you copy over to the station.  Else, you need to find the parent handle through wingethandle (looped until you find it)...which wouldn't make sense, because then you would need to execute the installer and THEN the autoit script on the target station

jdelaney your code only works for popups right? I think in my case its a new window everytime. Also the error messages happen in the middle of the installation so the while loop is going to run infinitely because the finish button won't get pressed
