Start script from USB stick without USB Stick

[AlexGo]

Hello everybody,
I will my script from USB Stick starten and after start unplugging the stick.
If I do this, then script looks running but didn't work. If I plug the Stick again - then work script well.

Can I make the script work  work in such conditions?

Thanks a lot!

Hi, 

actually it's much macros's ...

Script looks so:

HotKeySet("+d", "DeInstallIPOS")

InstallIPOS()

While 1
   Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func InstallIPOS()
   Run("ipos.exe")
   WinWaitActive("Setup - IPOS")
   Send("{ENTER}")
   WinWaitActive("Setup - IPOS", "Beenden des IPOS Setup-Assistenten")
   Send("{ENTER}")
EndFunc

Func DeInstallIPOS ()
    Run("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ipos\unins000.exe")
    Send("{ENTER}")
    WinWait("IPOS entfernen", "Sind Sie sicher, dass Sie IPOS und alle zugehörigen Komponenten entfernen möchten?")
    Send("{LEFT}")
    Send("{ENTER}")
    WinWait("IPOS entfernen", "Um die Deinstallation von IPOS abzuschließen, muss Ihr Computer neu gestartet werden.")
    Send("{RIGHT}")
    Send("{ENTER}")
    Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'shutdown -s -t 0', "", @SW_HIDE)
 EndFunc

hey

i'm a bit confused

so you wanna

1. plug the stick, then the installer starts, you drop the stick 

2. plug the stick, then DEinstaller starts, you drop the stick?

or you just wanna copy ur script and when the stick gets plugged it shall start de/install?

Hi Aelc,

no no no

Stick in -> run script - programm install - hot key "shift + d" for uninstall  -> stick out  -> if "shift + d" pressed - uninstall and shutdown

Problem - without stick hot keys didnt work.

HotKeySet("+d", "DeInstallIPOS") ; set "shift + d" for uninstall

InstallIPOS() ; install program IPOS.exe

While 1            ; waiting for hot key
   Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func InstallIPOS() ; function for install IPOS.exe
   Run("ipos.exe")
   WinWaitActive("Setup - IPOS")
   Send("{ENTER}")
   WinWaitActive("Setup - IPOS", "Beenden des IPOS Setup-Assistenten")
   Send("{ENTER}")
EndFunc

Func DeInstallIPOS () ; funktion for uninstall -> started if SHIFT+d pressed (didnt work if stick unplugged)
    Run("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ipos\unins000.exe")
    Send("{ENTER}")
    WinWait("IPOS entfernen", "Sind Sie sicher, dass Sie IPOS und alle zugehörigen Komponenten entfernen möchten?")
    Send("{LEFT}")
    Send("{ENTER}")
    WinWait("IPOS entfernen", "Um die Deinstallation von IPOS abzuschließen, muss Ihr Computer neu gestartet werden.")
    Send("{RIGHT}")
    Send("{ENTER}")
    Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'shutdown -s -t 0', "", @SW_HIDE)
 EndFunc

Liebe Grüße

Add some error checking for Run() as my guess is that the scripts runs fine when the USB stick is pulled up until you do the RUN() command as the WorkDir is invalid at tht point since that will still point to the USB stick drive. So play with that a little and see if that solves it.

@Jos

Yeah!!! Thanks Jos!!!

didn't work:

HotKeySet("+d", "DeInstallIPOS")

 InstallIPOS()

While 1
   Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func InstallIPOS()
   MsgBox(0,"", "Installed")
EndFunc

Func DeInstallIPOS ()
   MsgBox(0, "", "Uninstalled")
   Run("C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zFM.exe") ; wrong
 EndFunc

work:

HotKeySet("+d", "DeInstallIPOS")

 InstallIPOS()

While 1
   Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func InstallIPOS()
   MsgBox(0,"", "Installed")
EndFunc

Func DeInstallIPOS ()
   MsgBox(0, "", "Uninstalled")
   Run("C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zFM.exe", "C:\") ; right - "C:\" is "workingdir"
 EndFunc

im happy

[AlexGo]

much better:

FileChangeDir ("C:\")

for all macros
