Yesterday I went and worked on computers that are destined to be used by family members of those who are on active duty.
I found that what they were spending the most time doing was repetitive, and that could easily be automate with AutoIt3. Today I've been programming with AutoIt3. Trying to get it so that you just put in a CD, and the installation happens automatically. One of the biggest obstacles was getting it so that if the installation program requires a reboot, that the installation can continue once the computer is rebooted.
I did this by having an ini file placed inside of c:\windows which keeps track of what has been done so far. One of the major benefits of this paradigm is that I can have the disk automatically ejected. I also have it so that if someone puts the disk back in, it doesn't try and reinstall any thing, it just ejects the disk.
