Hi,
PC-Magazin wrote an article, how to install various programs automatically but they have used autoit.
As a fan of autohotkey, I began to write something similar with our all daysaver :-)

Posted Image

Here is the (very) first approach (V0.05): https://ahknet.autoh...all-o-matic.zip

Install-o-matic.ahk: The main program
UserData.ini: In this file you can adjust all user-data like installation pathes, source pathes, licence keys, options and some more.
Helperfunctions.ahk: Functions used by InstallOMatic
The other files are the installation scripts.

You are welcome to add scripts for your favorite piece of software.

Currently supported:
Acrobat Reader 7
Nero7
Autohotkey
LingoDict
AdAware
Filezilla
Free Download Manager
Google Earth
Jana Server
Maxthon Browser
Spybot S&D
TV-Browser
ProvDVB
Windvd 7
Mp3Tag

Ciao
Micha

TODO: After the installation extract the version info from the installation file and save the data to userdata.ini. If the user tries to install the same version again, skip it.
INI-Files must be merged. User has to change the file to point to the install source. If new entried are added, the changed user-settings must be kept.

Nice interface.

I notice you have AutoHotkey in the list of programs to install. In case anyone wants to do an automatic installation of AutoHotkey, here is some info that might help:

To silently install AutoHotkey into the default directory (which is the same directory displayed by non-silent mode), pass the parameter /S to the installer (/S must be capitalized). For example:

AutoHotkey104307_Install.exe /S

A directory other than the default may be specified via the /D parameter (in the absence of /S, this changes the default directory displayed by the installer). For example:

AutoHotkey104307_Install.exe /S /D=C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey

That's quite a collection! I know this will benefit a lot of people who want to automate the installation of their favorite software.

AutoHotkey.net is currently unavailable and will be back online from the first of July. Sorry for any inconvenience.

It seems that autohotkey.net is down.
