Subject: [wpkg-users] Passing variables between WPKG and AutoIt
Message-ID: <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:543303C1.8060504@hallictservices.co.uk"><543303C1.8060504@hallictservices.co.uk></a>

Hi Everyone
I would like to do this:
WPKG runs an AutoIt GUI which asks the user "Do you want to install
program x ? Yes No"
If answer$ = yes, WPKG installs the program.
If answer$ = no, WPKG does not install the program but continues processing.
How do I pass the variable answer$ from AutoIt back to WPKG?
My apologies if this has been covered before, but I could not find
anything on the Internet or in the forums.
Thank you
Kevin Hall

<pre wrap="">WPKG is designed to run without user interaction and in the context of
an administrative user.
There is a file check of type execute which checks against the result
(returned error code), but that is not suitable.
Your AutoIt program must return 0 (zero) or any other value, then you
could use it as the first install command and the package installation
would only proceed on the return of zero.
Still I think that the Administrator decides which software has to go on
which computer and user has only the ability to use it or not, so there
is no need to let the user decide what to install.
