?..IF/endif timing problem.....

[knotten]

My first post ever.....
I have this;


Run("PowerDVD6.exe")






If WinWaitActive("Question", "An existing version") Then

ControlClick("Question", "", "Button1")
WinWaitActive("Question", "Would you like to keep your personal settings for PowerDVD?")
ControlClick("Question", "", "Button2")

EndIf

WinWaitActive("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "A system with Pentium III 500 or")
ControlClick("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "", "Button1")

WinWaitActive("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "Do you accept all the terms of the")
ControlClick("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "", "Button2")


WinWaitActive("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "Setup will install the following programs into your computer:")
ControlClick("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "", "Button1")


WinWaitActive("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "Please enter your information.")
ControlClick("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "", "Button2")

WinWaitActive("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "Setup will install PowerDVD in")
ControlClick("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "", "Button1")

WinWaitActive("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "Please select a program folder.")
ControlClick("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "", "Button2")

WinWaitActive("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "Please select your default PowerDVD skin.")
ControlClick("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "", "Button1")

WinWaitActive("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "Setup has been completed.")
ControlClick("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "", "Button1")
ControlClick("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "", "Button2")
ControlClick("CyberLink PowerDVD Deluxe v6.0 Setup...", "", "Button4")


Run "C:\Programfiler\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PowerDVD.exe")


If WinExists( "CyberLink Registration") Then
WinWaitActive ("CyberLink Registration", "")
ControlClick("CyberLink Registration", "", "Button4")
Endif
winactivate("Key Activation.", "Please enter CD-Key to activate PowerDVD 6.")
WinWaitActive("Key Activation.", "Please enter CD-Key to activate PowerDVD 6.")
ControlSend ( "Key Activation.", "Please enter CD-Key to activate PowerDVD 6.", "Edit1", "xxxxx")
ControlSend ( "Key Activation.", "Please enter CD-Key to activate PowerDVD 6.", "Edit2", "xxxxx")
ControlSend ( "Key Activation.", "Please enter CD-Key to activate PowerDVD 6.", "Edit3", "xxxxx")
ControlSend ( "Key Activation.", "Please enter CD-Key to activate PowerDVD 6.", "Edit4", "xxxxx")
ControlSend ( "Key Activation.", "Please enter CD-Key to activate PowerDVD 6.", "Edit5", "xxxxx")
ControlSend ( "Key Activation.", "Please enter CD-Key to activate PowerDVD 6.", "Edit6", "xxxxx")
ControlClick("Key Activation.", "", "Button2")
WinWaitActive("Activate now...")
ControlClick("Activate now...", "", "Button1")

The green part;
If PowerDVD has been instaled befor, then I want to bypass it. But it seems like the script just "jumps" over it......
If I put in --> WinWaitActive("Question", "", 18), in front of the "IF", the script will see the "Question" window and move on after 18sec. And the the "IF" works fine.

If I put in --> WinWaitActive("Question", ""), in front of the "IF", the script will see the "Question" window and halt. So the "Question" window are noticed .

Iam new at this, so pls. be patient!

Sorry for the long delay in response, I had a bit of trouble figuring out what you were asking. It's also difficult to test solutions unless we have PowerDVD6!


If WinWaitActive("Question", "An existing version") Then


The problem with this line (as far as I can tell) is it is not supposed to ever fail since you did not specify a timeout. I think it's very strange that your script would seem to skip this part.


If WinWaitActive("autoit-v3", "", 10) Then
MsgBox(0, "It Worked", "All done!")
Else
MsgBox(0, "It didn't Work", "Fail!")
EndIf


This bit of code halts my script for 10 seconds. If I ever click my autoit-v3 folder it enters the IF.. but if I haven't after 10 seconds, it moves on (0 failure is returned, so it kicks to the else). I imagine this is the type of behavior you want?

So I would try something like...


If WinWaitActive("Question", "An existing version",20) Then
ControlClick("Question", "", "Button1")
WinWaitActive("Question", "Would you like to keep your personal settings for PowerDVD?")
ControlClick("Question", "", "Button2")
EndIf


What is the purpose of the red code? It looks like you are checking to see if a window pops up immediately after calling

Run "C:\Programfiler\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PowerDVD.exe")

the second time; since Run resumes executing your script lines immediately after starting the program, you may want to Sleep ( delay_milliseconds ) between the run call and the check for the "CyberLink Registration" window. Something like:


Run "C:\Programfiler\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PowerDVD.exe")

Sleep(5000) ; sleep for 5 seconds

If WinExists( "CyberLink Registration") Then
WinWaitActive ("CyberLink Registration", "")
ControlClick("CyberLink Registration", "", "Button4")
Endif


Please respond with more info so I can better help you
