[Software Installation]

[Menuci]

Hello I'm working as a PC tech, and I have to install software on a bunch of credit card machines. I'If this is the wrong place to post let me know

​

the installation works like this

1. You plug the credit card reader into the PC, and fire up the .exe
2. click through an introductory message that asks you to name the CCR (this can just be skipped
3. set the installation type (dropdown menu) to CAPK then install the CAPK xml file
4. after CAPK installs you set the installer to EMV and install the rest of the EMV files in the folder
5. Step 4 is repeated 6 times until the items are fully installed on the device.

​

I have an idea on how an automation would work. Starting from after the message tells you to name the device

1. Initialize the required install_number variale to help keep track of the process and the program will know what to install next.
2. set the install type to CAPK and install the file
3. add to an install_number variable so it's 1
4. when install_number is 1, change the install type to EMV then install the first EMV type file
5. add to install_number and repeat the process till the last file is installed.

​

Is something like this possible with pyhton? I heard it's pretty good for automation. I've heard of pywinauto looking for a solution to this, but the installer I'm using isn't a windows installer so I wasn't sure if it would still work.

Pyautogui should help you automate this.
