UVK forums

Hi,

Apologies if the question has already been answered, I swear, I did some digging about it in the forum but found nothing concluant.

We, at my company, are in need to customize the repair system section in UVK. To do so, I have to make some third party "apps".

A good example to illustrate my concern is the use of Ninite's install/update app.
If I need to update several softwares (each computer needs different updates) using Ninite, and because UVK can't do paralel actions (for now but maybe soon ?) I made an autoit based UVK script for each of them (Chrome installer.exe will have a Chrome Installer.uvk, Dropbox Installer.exe a Dropbox Installer.uvk and so on).
The script runs the installer then wait 'till the install or update is finished then close it to let UVK do the next action which is in this case to run another ninite's update.

Everyone follows ? Good

So here we are, I have to make a Chrome Installer.cmd with -Readfile "path" and -Auto to trigger the uvk
So cmd > uvk > exe

Well, I wonder if it's possible to allow either the command line or the uvk file to be set as target of Command 1 (or 2 or x) in the "Edit third party app" window.

I would make UVK even more powerfull as it is already.

Thank you,

Alex

Hi Arekisu. If I understood correctly, you need a command like this: %UVKExe% automatically expands to the full path of the UVK's executable.
%InstallSourceDir% automatically expands to the path of the package that installed UVK (UVKPortable.exe or UVKSetup.exe).

More info here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=997&p=2819

Is that what you need?

Yeah I know the command line but thanks

Because what-you-see is better than what-you-read, please check these :

This is what I would like ideally :

The ability to execute a script as a third app.

To do so I actually need to execute a batch to execute the script :


Because the third app editor can't use a script neither a batch command directly, I have to workaround like that.
Am I missing something ?



EDIT : Oh my bad, I'm sorry, actually it works, I keep asking myself why it didn't whgen I tried yesterday
Thank you anyway but I'll be back I swear

You can also check the automation functions in UVK scripting code, (not autoit).

In your case, the automation script would by like this: There's nothing wrong with using AutoIt code, but it will spawn another instance of UVK.
Using the script above, that won't happen.

thanks for the tip, I'm just scratching the surface right now
