Post New Requests Here / Re: Change name of particular file in all occurrences on hard disk

@nkormanik: What f0dder said:

Also, almost forgot: what's the symptoms when you try to launch the application? If it's a "Windows failed to load JVM.DLL" kinda message, it might be as simple as a x64 vs x86 JRE version issue.
-f0dder (November 14, 2012, 02:33 PM)

You have (also) installed the x86 version of Java I assume? It sure looks like the SAS application is x86, and those are not capable of loading a x64 edition of the Java dll's. (If the application just shells out to a Java.exe then it would have worked as expected.)

Best suggestion for this direction so far is that it runs fine on Windows XP. It's highly unlikely that you are running XP x64, and unlike other software, Java needs to be installed in the bitness (x86/x64) of the application trying to use it, not the OS. On my x64 Windows I only have x86 Java installed, as I use no application(s) that require a x64 JVM.

NB: Full-blown Java applications shouldn't care nor matter what edition of the JVM is installed, except that the x64 edition has more memory available for applications.

SleepTill updated/reached version 1.0.0

By request I added a few parameters/features:
- Date and Time offsets from 'now' can be specified
- No longer accepts '-' as option-specifier (needed for the days offset)

The offset for days can be specified by using -+<days> instead of a date. (Both the - and the + need to be there!)
Specify the offset for hours or minutes (seconds is no useful option imho) by using :+<hours> or ::+<minutes>
If an hour or minute offset is given, it is calculated from the current time, not from 00:00, that wouldn't be usable.

The updated /? help message:

SleepTill 1.0.0 (c) 2012, Ath : Wait for a date/time to occur, then continue. Usage: SleepTill [date] [-+days] [time] [:+hours|::+mins] [/d] [/?] [date] : Optional date in yyyy-mm-dd format, default: today [-+days] : Add 'days' to current date to wait for [time] : Optional time in hh:mm[:ss] format, if not supplied: 00:00 [:+hours|::+mins] : Add 'hours' or 'minutes' to current time /d : Show some debugging info /? : Show this helpmessage Remarks: - Either date or time, or both, should be provided to start the wait - Date/time should be in the future to start the wait - Pressing Ctrl-C stops the wait

I can add a feature like that. I'm not sure when I'll be working on the dev-system where I've made this tool. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. Please hang-on.

Only some general advise:
Get a current model, not last-years shop-sale type of a 'bargain'.
Select on the screen quality/brightness, there is a difference; and take home the one that you tested being good...

For a girl of that age, looks do matter, AFAIR

Which adds the most entropy - adding 30 to a number, or adding 10 three times?
-f0dder (November 13, 2012, 11:54 AM)

I'd add 7, 11 and 13, because they're prime numbers, adding 31 in total which is also a prime number...

Windows 7 dropped support for 16-bit programs and programs which include legacy 16-bit code.

Minor correction: That is for x64 editions only, and it happened on Vista x64 (and probably on XP x64 before that) already.

Can you attach your Strokesfile please?

Edit: Seeing that you (seem to have) added --winwait schtasks.exe 6 to wait a maximum of 6 seconds for the executable to be loaded, that is probably the solution you need. Running the executable without permitting it some time to get running is apparently a bit too quick.
That's not an error, a feature or a bug, but just how things go (in Windows), IMHO.

It also can't find the update server, so it's definitely a proxy issue

Although the actual window title reads "C:\Windows\system32\schtasks.exe", the WindowName seems to be "schtasks.exe".
-Day Agent (November 10, 2012, 05:55 AM)

Well, the ProcessList() function of AutoIt returns just the name of the executable, and that is what is used/checked by WSK if a Window with the specified name can not be found.

Works like a charm now.

Nice program.

General Software Discussion / Re: WinSendKeys (Automate Task Scheduler)

« Last post by Ath on November 10, 2012, 04:49 AM »

I think you also need to provide the name for the schtasks window that's active during the execution/wait for enter. It now is assuming it has to wait for a window called {ENTER}, and that's quite unlikely to exist. You may need a Window Spy tool or Process Explorer to find the exact name of the window/process while it is waiting for input.

Edit: Changing the -x parameter to -x schtasks.exe may be enough, but I have not enough test-data to try that out. Adding schtasks.exe before {ENTER} should fix it, AFAICS,

This is where the usual escape sequence for quotes is needed: Double the quotes

so I tried:
WinSendKeys.exe -d -xp "/create /xml ""X:\task.xml"" /ru ""COMPUTER NAME\USER NAME"" /tn ""Imported Task""" ?

and got in the log:
2012-11-10 09:55:34.931, Debug logging enabled 2012-11-10 09:55:34.932, Executable Parameters specified: /create /xml "X:\task.xml" /ru "COMPUTER NAME\USER NAME" /tn "Imported Task" 2012-11-10 09:55:34.932, Window: ? 2012-11-10 09:55:34.934, Windowhandle: 0 2012-11-10 09:55:34.934, Window '?' not found.

No special handling required I guess
