pop-up running batch file

Hi guys

I have been working on some scripts, which runs a batch command. I wonder if it is possible to let the command window pop-up on the client computer, so our users can see that the computer is working on something. The situation is that I have to upgrade all our Autodesk products from 2012+2013 to 2015. Autodesk has decided to uinstall their suites as individual products, so to be able to uninstall everything that has to do with Autodesk, I have to run "wmic product where "vendor like 'Autodesk'%" call uninstall". I am able to see that the script is running under task manager -> performance, but I would like if i could see the process in a command line window, as my users and I will be able to see when it is done.

Is there a parameter to pop-up the command window?

Put your commands into a batch file and upload to the K1000. Then call the .bat file which will pop up the command window.

  • Did not work. It runs, but does not pop up. Should I add anything to the bat file, other than the command? - HQgeN 9 years ago

I'd use an HTA for this scenario. There are plenty of examples around. Besides anything else, you can use HTML elements on the page: you can have buttons, option controls, check-boxes, drop-downs...anything, really. And because it's HTML, you can import "libraries" of ready-rolled JavaScript. I have some nice spin buttons which I put on HTAs where users choose a time - as you know, users can't be relied on to type valid values!

Anyway, my 2 cents...

Change this value, /quiet inside that batch file into a simple progress bar with a disabled cancel button - /QB! and your problem will be fixed..

  • But I haven't added the /quiet parameter, and it is not in the batch file. The /QB! doesn't seems to work. - HQgeN 9 years ago
    • Oopps. Looks like the uninstall batch file is only in Autocad 2014. Anyway, if you can alter the commands that would do the trick. Can you show us a piece of that batch file here? - dj_xest 9 years ago
      • I am running the following command in a online Kscript as a domain admin. It works like a charm, the problem is that the user/I can't see what is happening on the screen, only in task manager and in control panel-programs and features.

        "wmic product where "vendor like 'Autodesk%'" call uninstall"

        Here is a image of it.

If this is being run by a service account and the target platform is Win 7 or higher, then you will not see the pop up from the batch file as "Interaction with Desktop" is not supported on Win 7 as system now runs in a different session to user.

  • ahh... And there is nothing to do? for instance a pop-up box while it's working, telling the user that a script is running? - HQgeN 9 years ago
