kindly help out what to do..thanks in advance..!

You can post your actual code for us to review or just describe what you want the script to do (Describe as precise as you can. I try to help if I know)

You can also read up autoit help file that comes with it. They are really informative for beginners like me when I was learning autoit. (Autoit scripting scope is wide... still got a lot to learn)

Hi Bee4u

I do not know Au3Recorder method. I just use normal autoit coding method. (Pls read the help file for function's description)

Just compile this script to exe and put it with the program installer.

Have your entries_TelepportPro.ini call to execute this script, TeleportProWiz.exe

; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; AutoIt Version: 3.3.6.1
; Language:       English
; Description:    Teleport Pro 1.62 Wizard Installer
; Installer Download link: http://www.tenmax.com/teleport/pro/home.htm
; Remark: You can also try it's silent switch Teleport_Pro_Installer.exe /S (I did not try this switch)
;         Install as trial version. Does not include any method of entering serial as I do not have any serial.

thx i will try and see

[bee4u]

sir it didnt work same problem... :confused02:

[Geej]

sir it didnt work same problem... :confused02:

I do not know why it didn't work at your end. I retest again (on XP, VM), still works.

How do you test this script? On a VM or host PC?

Have you uninstall cleanly first before you run it?

You test with version 1.59 or 1.62? (My script is base on v1.62 only)

When you said "same problem", does it means 'nothing happens no installation'? How do you know? (since it is a GUI-wizard installation, you should be able to see the installation in action)

I have made the addon with the script I post. Try running it or slipstream it on a VM

TeleportPro_addon.cabSize: 1.08 Mb (1,127,902 bytes)

MD5: E52FF2EE4F937BE69BEC271BB157CBC2

It installed to C:\Program Files\Teleport Pro

If all else fail, just run with silent switch : Teleport_Pro_Installer.exe /S
