After I completed my Vipre script I tried to set it up to run as one of my cleaning tools like I would if Vipre wasn't so difficult to download.
After I set it up as a system repair option all it does is tell me that the task has been completed. I think that it should work just as if I had
double clicked it. What's your thoughts on this?

Running a script

It is not "Can it be done?" but rather, "How can we do it?"

Re: Running a script
Hi Jim. Vipre rescue is not hard to download. The download url redirects to the latest file through a META tag. This ensures you always download the latest version. UVK supports this type of redirect, so it should be easy.
Or if you want to make it a third party app:
The download is big and takes a while to complete, so you gotta be patient. It took me about 5 min to complete.
Code: Select all
<UpdateSoftware>
%ThirdParty%\VipreRescue.exe | http://www.vipreantivirus.com/live/Download2/
- App name: Vipre rescue scanner
Download url: http://www.vipreantivirus.com/live/Download2/
Download file: %ThirdParty%\VipreRescue.exe
Download type: Direct download
- Download url: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/VIPRE-Rescue-Scanner.shtml
Download type: Softpedia page
The download is big and takes a while to complete, so you gotta be patient. It took me about 5 min to complete.
One thing we humans have in common is that we are all different. So, if you think you're weird because you're different from everyone else, then we are all weird.

Re: Running a script
Fred I will try that but when I tried that it did not seem to do anything except tell me it was done about 2 seconds after it started.
I noticed you used the <UpdateSoftware> tag which has different functionality than <Download> it seems. I just used download.
Vipre is about 168 Meg and took about a min - min and a half in the script I made.
I guess if UVK really does not give up when it says it did is that something maybe you fix at some point? I created that script because UVK said it was done, the download was only about 600K and I took it at its word that it was done.

Re: Running a script
Jim, the <Download> tag does not support META redirects. It only supports direct downloads. Moreover, the <UpdateSoftware> method has much more functionality: It supports several download methods, META redirects and only downloads the files if they are not already downloaded and up to date. The System repair third party apps also use the same features.
Just try that script and you'll see the difference.

Re: Running a script
Fred the very first time I tried it, I set it up through the system repair but I will certainly try it again later and I will wait and see what happens.
I'll let you know how it works for me.

I just did it again in the system repair and I set it up with the "download2" url and as you said it worked fine. I guess it wasn't clear that it supports meta refresh. I tried the download page and then direct download using the "download2" url and it didn't work. Oh well, more practice at AutoIT and just trying to help.....
