4.3.1.5. Integration with automated answers for the setup program
Another fast way of integration is to provide an automated answer file for the setup
process. To be more precise, the answer file is used by a control tool, which waits for
the setup to come up with interactive windows and then passes input to these windows
as defined in the answer file. As a control tool we recommend 'AutoIt'. The AutoIt
program and the documentation you will find in the opsi-integtools or at the website:
http://www.hiddensoft.com/autoit3.
Here is a (very simple) example for using AutoIt:
Automated integration of 'TightVNC' with the help of AutoIt.
; start the setup
Run, tightvnc-1.2.9-setup.exe
; wait for the first window titled „Setup - TightVNC“
WinWait, Setup - TightVNC
; Send „Enter“ to that window:
Send, {ENTER}
; and so on ... send ENTER for default processing:
WinWait, Setup - TightVNC
Send, {ENTER}
WinWait, Setup - TightVNC
Send, {ENTER}
WinWait, Setup - TightVNC
Send, {ENTER}
WinWait, Setup - TightVNC
Send, {ENTER}
WinWait, Setup - TightVNC
Send, {ENTER}
WinWait, Setup - TightVNC
Send, {ENTER}
; at that point the installation has started
WinWait, Setup - TightVNC
; send F for Finish
Send, F
exit
At the start of 'autoit.exe' the name of the control file is passed as an argument.
Following screen shots correspond with the answer file. As you can see, sending “Enter”
to every window proceeds the default installation:
