exe autoIt3 and WAPT

Hello,

I'm new to software deployment, packaging, etc., and to create applications with specific installation requirements, I wanted to use AutoIt to automate my installations before deploying them via WAPT.

Having created several .exe files to automate my application installations, I've reached the point where I'd like to create my packages using WAPT.

Unfortunately, despite my attempts, my installations aren't working.

Has anyone else encountered this situation? Is this the best solution? Does WAPT offer similar capabilities to AutoIt for automating installations during deployments?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely,

Yann

Hello,

I have the same issue.

From what I understand:

Just like pdq deploy or wpkg, wapt uses a system session.

AutoIt3 can therefore work, but not for keyboard or mouse emulation.

However, when the command line is run with an administrator account, wapt-get install smp-test will work.

Hello,

I'd like to know if anyone has successfully used AutoIt3 with its answer file in a WAPT package?

I have no choice but to use this method for installing the software.

When editing in Pscrypter with the installer, everything works, but once it's built and launched via the console, nothing happens with AutoIt.
