Conditional Branching - Can it be done?

[pauls]

What I need is to be able to prompt the user for a CD Key, then based on what they enter, branch to one of 5 or 6 possible different installs that include launching different .exes, copying different folders of files, installing different software dongles, registry keys, shortcuts, etc. Can this be done with Autoplay Menu Studio?

Re: Conditional Branching - Can it be done?

Hi,

It might be possible to do this using AutoPlay, but it depends on how your CD Keys work and how they are entered.

There are no string manipulation functions in AutoPlay so you can't search someone's Key for certain text. You also cannot check to see if the user's Key is in multiple password lists.

You can however use conditional branching on "known" text. I.E. get them to enter the first three characters of their CD Key, then automatically branch to the correct GET PASSWORD action and ask them for their full password. If it’s correct then perform the necessary functions based on the first three characters of their CD Key.
