autoit will be stop when click the other windows

[qiong]

Hello

I write one autoit script, it is used to install one software automatically.

When I run the autoit script,  I find it will stop temporarily if I click the other windows or I change my desktop to  remote desktop.

I need to active it by focus on the autoit script windows again.

 

So, if it mean I need to do nothing  when run the autoit script?? I can't click the other windows and I can't switch to the other remote desktop

Some script would be nice.

After reading through some of your previous chatter, I'm inferring english is not your first language?

Also, you're not listening to the other responders; makes you seem like a dead horse.

[Earthshine]

Yeah he just made it to my ignore list. Why bother helping someone who never responds or tries anything suggested?

[qiong]

I think I have told you that  the shortcut can't been created on the desktop and startmenu if I install the software by "setup.exe -i silent"

I try to install the software on windows7 and windows10, but the shortcut can't be created on both of the two OS

The software is built by Installanywhere2008

 

Can you tell me how to install the software by command way?

[qiong]

By the way:

Your slang has made me very uncomfortable. I have encountered problems that cannot be solved therefore I ask questions here.

It seems that there is no consumption of public resources.

This is where you got all wrong.  Ppl take time to read your threads and respond to it.  But you don't listen.  You should have check how to create a desktop shortcut.  It is a single line of code !!!

I was gonna help.....

However one can't make a horse drink water after you lead them to it.

i know the answer to this post. take a look at the fragments of script, it does not use any ControlClick or any controls based control, it's all just Send.

so, that is why when you activate another window while it's running, it doesn't work--but this is based on what I saw in the other threads since he won't show the full script

OP use the code tags and post your code inside them, the <> button, click it, and dump your code in there. maybe someone can help

Sorry, for autoit3, I am a new, rookie, and I am not a developer. I am just an IT staff.

I don’t understand what you mean by using the command line. It’s not that I don’t follow what you said, but I completely can't understand what the command line means.

Is it right to use "setup -i install"? It is like a group of college students discussing with a primary school student what is C and what is java.

First of all, I have to understand then I can follow with you. 

For example, " You should have check how to create a desktop shortcut. It is a single line of code !!! " What is a line of code? How to write this code, where to write it, and in which way? ?

Yes, the horse can’t see the water and how do you let him drink?

I know that my question is like 1+1 is equal to ?. I hope that you will not be ridiculed. This forum does not limit the novices to ask questions, right?

 

The code

Run("setup.exe")
WinWaitActive("Winpower")
Send("!n")
$hWnd = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]");
$ret = DllCall("user32.dll", "long", "LoadKeyboardLayout", "str", "08040804", "int", 1 + 0)
DllCall("user32.dll", "ptr", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", 0x50, "int", 1, "int", $ret[0])
Send('nh')

WinWait("Check Previous Version","",5)
If WinExists("Check Previous Version","") Then
  Send("{Enter}")
  WinWaitActive("Save Configuration")
  Send("{TAB}")
  Send("{Enter}")
  Sleep(70000);
EndIf

WinWaitActive("Winpower")
Opt ("SendKeyDelay", 100);
Send("{TAB}")
Send("511C1-01220----")
Send("!n")
WinWaitActive("Winpower")
Send("!n")
WinWaitActive("Winpower")
Send("!n")
WinWaitActive("Winpower")
Send("!i")
WinWaitActive("Winpower")
Send("!d")
Sleep(25000)
WinClose("Winpower")

I want to use " ControlClick", but I can't get any control

Ok I am going to give you the 2 lines of code that will replace all of yours (untested of course) :

RunWait ("setup.exe -i silent")
FileCreateShortcut ("Your full path to winpower.exe", @Desktop & "\WinPower.lnk", "Your full path to working directory")

Now you will need to adjust those 2 lines to fit the installation location directory.

Wait - let me get this right. You are IT staff yet you don't know what command line is? 

Google is your friend. https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/c/commandi.htm

you can't get any controls because this is a stupid installer created with java... lol, god I hate you java

best to use the silent install options because the OP has no chance at doing this otherwise.
