my point is to have the SENDKEY option automatically answer OK after the install instead of the dialogue box sitting there and displaying "uninstall was successful" and waiting on user to press the ENTER key

Start with providing a bit more of the script, and post it within code-tags. That snippet is broken already since you didn't post enough..
And I do belive this is highly related to kix..

Still missing code-tags \:\)
you have no pause between firing up uninstall, and sending the key,
and no check wether it has been run correctly or not before you simply restart.

@Les, prolly because a mod hasn't moved it yet ;\)

Just so you guys know, his initial post did not contain any text and was subsequently added.

Selor: You first need to use SETFOCUS() to set focus onto the Dialog Box, then you can use SENDKEYS() to send the ENTER key to the applications.

Looks like you still haven't found out whether the application supports a silent uninstall?

BTW, have you tried
 Code:
Shell 'C:\WINDOWS\uninst.exe -a -y -f"C:\Program Files\Pivotal\Relation\DeIsl1.isu"'

for a silent uninstall? And read http://support.installshield.com/kb/view.asp?articleid=q100021

I first deleted all the .DLL files...and then SHELL the uninstall command. that works fine.....all i need now is to use SETOPTION and SEDKEY to answer yes after the uninstall does its thing....and i also tried deleting the folder by and it wont!!

NB: how would you rewrite the code to delete the folder and also use sendkey to answer OK after uninstall??

IF EXIST('C:\program files\pivotal')
RD 'C:\program files\pivotal'
EndIF
...........................

If Exist ("C:\Program Files\Pivotal\Relation")

If Exist ("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Relationship 99")

Run '"regsvr32 /u Rn1colan.dll",4160,2'
Run '"regsvr32 /u RsMorMSoutlook.exe",4160,2'

Del "C:\Program Files\Pivotal\Relation\Imsync.dll"
Del "C:\Program Files\Pivotal\Relation\Isyncps.dll"
Del "C:\Program Files\Pivotal\Relation\Isysmps.dll"

DelProgramItem ("Relationship 99")

;This command line uninstalls Relationship from user computer.

$Msg = MessageBox('Please wait while Relationship is uninstalled','ESI International',,5)

Shell 'C:\WINDOWS\uninst.exe /s -y -f"C:\Program Files\Pivotal\Relation\DeIsl1.isu"'

$rc = SendKeys ("{Enter}")

;This command line will Reboot the computer within 10 seconds after completion of uninstallation

$RC = Shutdown("","System is being rebooted to enable new settings.", 10, 1, 1)

Else

You have 2 IF but only 1 ENDIF.

As I already told you, you cannot just blindly SendKey() without using SetFocus() to the screen you need to send the [enter] key to.

When you SHELL out to the uninstaller, does the KiX script wait for the uninstall to complete before moving to the next line? If it does, then the SendKey() cannot send the [enter] to the uninstaller!

If it doesn't wait, then you SendKey() the [enter] too soon!

when the uninstaller completes, it pops up the OK button and i press ENTER before it continues.....someone had suggested AutoIt but that didn't come out too smooth either. How would i use brute force to remove the folder for the program folder cause what i scripted didn't do the trick..which is...

IF EXIST('C:\program files\pivotal')
RD 'C:\program files\pivotal'
EndIF

So, what does @Error and @SError return after the RD?
Are there any subdirectories?
Did you try using the /s switch?

You obviously haven't read the manual! You cannot just make this stuff up.
Why nest quotes for RD?
There is no such SetOption()!
There is no such parm as "{~Enter}"!

If you want help, you have to start by reading the manual and listening to advice.

And didn't we already tell you that you need to set the focus on the dialog box? Why don't you do this?

You continue to not heed our advice and complain that the code fragmetns we present don't work. This makes it tiring to help you.

So, read the KiXtart Manual, the FAQ Forum regarding error checking and test your code with proper error checks.

Well... since SHELLing is a sync process, it is a moot point. \:\( The OP lacks the skill to understand this and work around it. We lack the patience to guide someone that cannot answer questions and cannot follow advice, choosing instead to take the shotgun approach making up undocumented syntax. The OP's forum posting style is equally haphazard, with multiple threads that are poorly worded and nearly impossible to follow.
