How to make Windows Firewall Security alert silent using AutoIT?
HI All,
I am working on IBM Lotus Quickr Connector. While installing this app following Windows firewall security alert is prompting.
Am using Auto It script to install it silently. The first installation is fine but if we uninstall and install the app for second time the installation process is not ending. In task manager the IBM_AutoIT.exe is still running. I am using the following code
$InstallCommand = @ScriptDir & "\Source\qkrconn.exe" & " /Install /quiet ADDLOCAL=WindowsExplorer,LotusNotes,MicrosoftOffice /NORESTART"
$pid = RunWait ($InstallCommand)
WinWaitActive("Authentication Required","","5")
If WinExists("Authentication Required") Then
Send("userid{TAB}")
Send("password{Enter}")
EndIf
Is there anything wrong in this code
Can anybody help me with this issue.
Thanks in Advance

Maybe if you add a firewall exception for this via Group Policy this popup will never happen and keep your Autoit install from failing.
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="My Application" dir=in action=allow program="C:\MyApp\MyApp.exe" enable=yes remoteip=157.60.0.1,172.16.0.0/16,LocalSubnet profile=domain
The issue could be because you need a reboot after the uninstallation in order for the second attempt of instalallation to be successful.. - dj_xest 10 years ago
