Silent installer for Matlab 2010b. Simply using the command line to run the Matlab provided setup.exe along with the argument -inputfile followed by a preconfigured input file containing your license key, silent install option etc, just won't work. It seems that when the setup.exe is run, it spawns a new setup.exe (with another pid), the original setup.exe then exits, wpkg then sees this exit, tries to check the program has installed ok and fails. Meanwhile, the spawned setup.exe continues and installs Matlab.

To get around this, an Autoit script was written that is passed two arguments. The first one is the path to the setup.exe program, the second is the path to the input file. After setup.exe is started, a small sleep allows the spawned setup.exe to start. All the processes called 'setup.exe' are then searched for along with the command they are running. If one of the setup.exe's commands contain the string 'matlab', then this PID is obtained. In a While loop, the existance of this PID is checked, if it still exists, sleep, then re-check. If the PID doesn't exist, close the autoit exe, it is at this point that the install of Matlab would of finished and it is only now do we return pack the WPLG XML that will go and check the install has succeeded/failed.

Passing the arguments to the Autoit script allows multiple licensed toolboxes to be installed.

To remove Matlab and/or Matlab toolboxes, you can't simply run the documented command line:

<pre>

"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\matlab-%version%\uninstall\bin\win32\uninstall.exe" -inputfile "%SOFTWARE%\math_progs\\matlab_2010b_uninstaller_input.txt"

</pre>

If you do, the uninstall.exe program will start, launch the uninstall gui (hidden from view of course so you've no idea what's going on) and sit there. To 'make it work', create a very simple batch file that accepts two arguments, one, the path the the uninstall.exe and the second, the path to the input file (copy of this input file is in {path to matlab}\uninstall\). Run this batch file as the <remove>.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</remove>

</package>

; Script to start the Matlab install and keep alive until the setup.exe program finishes. This script is used by the Matlab WPKG program.

; It's not as simple as making sure the process setup.exe is still running as there may already be a process running called setup.exe. We need

; to look for the one that has the string matlab in the processes execute command line. To make things harder, the matlab setup.exe seems to

; start with one pid for the exe, this then seems to spawn a new setup.exe with another pid so we can't simple launch the original setup.exe, note

; its pid and then keep an eye on it, we need to keep looking for the pid for the process setup.exe with the string matlab in the execute command.

; This is where the function _ProcessListProperties (http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/70538-processlistproperties/) is used.

; Function Name: _ProcessListProperties()

; Description: Get various properties of a process, or all processes

; Call With: _ProcessListProperties( [$Process [, $sComputer]] )

; Parameter(s): (optional) $Process - PID or name of a process, default is "" (all)

; (optional) $sComputer - remote computer to get list from, default is local

; Requirement(s): AutoIt v3.2.4.9+

; Return Value(s): On Success - Returns a 2D array of processes, as in ProcessList()

; with additional columns added:

; [0][0] - Number of processes listed (can be 0 if no matches found)

; [1][0] - 1st process name

; [1][1] - 1st process PID

; [1][2] - 1st process Parent PID

; [1][3] - 1st process owner

; [1][4] - 1st process priority (0 = low, 31 = high)

; [1][5] - 1st process executable path

; [1][6] - 1st process CPU usage

; [1][7] - 1st process memory usage

; [1][8] - 1st process creation date/time = "MM/DD/YYY hh:mm:ss" (hh = 00 to 23)

; [1][9] - 1st process command line string

; ...

; [n][0] thru [n][9] - last process properties

; On Failure: Returns array with [0][0] = 0 and sets @Error to non-zero (see code below)

; Author(s): PsaltyDS at http://www.autoitscript.com/forum

; Date/Version: 12/01/2009 -- v2.0.4

; Notes: If an integer PID or string process name is provided and no match is found,

; then [0][0] = 0 and @error = 0 (not treated as an error, same as ProcessList)

; This function requires admin permissions to the target computer.

; All properties come from the Win32_Process class in WMI.

; To get time-base properties (CPU and Memory usage), a 100ms SWbemRefresher is used.
