opening daemon tools in autoit

[vtuls]

hi all i'm new to this forum and i have just begun with autoit

but what i'm trying to do is not so simple as i thougt.

i want to make an auto install programm for my pc.

that when i reinstall my sofware it takes a bit of load of of me.

i have some of my files burned in to a image that i'm trying to acces with daemon tools

because i get the next error when i try to run the programm i would like to know what i do wrong and how to fiks this.

"C:\Documents and Settings\Vincent\Mijn documenten\programma\auto it tests\test.au3 (45) : ==> Unable to execute the external program.:

Run("daemon.exe") "can any one help me?

i hereby also post my auto script so you can help me abit more accurate.

test.au3

Instead of "daemon.exe" put the path of it and see if that works.

[vtuls]

have tried that it does'nt work either

[vtuls]

my problem is that daemon is already on my desktop in the taskbar pressent and its accessable with the right klik on my mouse but because it is also continuously changing it position in th task bar i would like to know how to get access to the options i need?

[Abaddon]

Make sure you tried it like this...... Run("C:\\Program Files\\DAEMON Tools\\daemon.exe")

Yes you have to have the double backslash.

[vtuls]

this didn't work either

i'm still getting the same error.

i did have a complete discription with mousemove and mouseckick,

but because the icon is on a different place every time i restart my computer

these don't have the effect i wanted.

Try this...

$sFile = @ProgramFilesDir & "\D-Tools\daemon.exe"

If FileExists($sFile) Then
    Run($sFile)
Else
    MsgBox(16, "Error", "File doesn't exist !")
EndIf

@Abaddon : You don't need to have the double backslashes... Done any v2 lately ?

it does work with out errors now but didn't hit the spot

i some how need to replace the actions following:

1: rightklick on daemon icon in the task bar.

2: select virtual cd/dvd-rom.

3: select Device 0 : [F:\] no media

4: select mount image

5: open the file i need.

Check the Daemon Tools help file for command line options....

For example, I have the following script (compiled to an EXE) associated with ISO files. It allows me to double click an ISO, mount it as G:, and show the contents in Explorer:

; MountHelper.au3  Assumes that G: is the Daemon Tools Virtual drive...
#noTrayIcon
If $CmdLine[0] = 0 Then Exit

FilechangeDir(@ScriptDir)
RunWait('"daemon.exe" -unmount 0')
RunWait('"daemon.exe" -mount 0, ' & """" & $CmdLine[1] & """")
While DriveStatus("G:") = "NOTREADY"
    sleep(100)
WEnd
Run("explorer G:")

[Helge]

Well, D-Tools does take command line parameters which would make that so much easier..

Edit : CS, hey..you aren't supposed to be here !

[vtuls]

C:\Documents and Settings\Vincent\Mijn documenten\programma\auto it tests\test.au3(45,78) : ERROR: syntax error

run("daemon.exe -mount" "0""D:\software disks\generals\C&C Generals CD1.nrg"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

[vtuls]

normally, when programming, if you get an error that says something about syntax you may want to look at the command and how it should be called, i.e. read the example of the action that you want to perform and then copy that into your program and change the settings to match your needs.

Argh goddammit thanks - I've tried to integrate all the types of images in deamontools and for somehow I never thought of doing it like this Beautifull - Now i can finally open mdf / img / etc with doubleclick
