Question:
What is the best way to install a software Application through automation? Would it be efficient to uninstall it from an uninstall wizard and recording it's key stroke or unisntalling it manually from file folders and the registry?
Answer:
You could use the control manager functions to uninstall the app via the control panels add/remove programs. This actually using the application uninstall routine, and you better guaranteed a complete uninstall....
; Run Add/Remove Programs
Run("rundll32.exe", "shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL appwiz.cpl")
;Note: This example designed for Windows 95
AddExtender("wwctl34I.dll")
removeapp="RealJukebox"
Run("rundll32.exe", "shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL appwiz.cpl")
mainwnd=DllHwnd("Add/Remove")
child2hwnd= cWndByName(mainwnd,"Install/Uninstall")
lbWnd=cWndbyID(child2hwnd,1025)
response=cGetLBText(lbwnd)
app=ItemLocate(removeapp, response, @tab)
if app==0
Message(removeapp,"Not Found")
else
cSetLBItem(lbwnd,app)
Message(removeapp,"Selected")
endif
;Add when completely debugged
;buttonWnd=cWndbyID(child2hwnd,1026)
;cClickButton(buttonWnd)
exit
