Mac OSX install script

[Meresgi]

So I need to attempt to automate an install on mac osx snow leopard for Final Cut. Its an older version of the software though so each CD has a serial number and since there are a few dozen machines, going around and installing each by hand is a pain in the ass.

Using Applescript+shell scripts is there a way to effectively do a hands off install? I would assume so since Applescript seems to let you fill in fields and tab through windows easy enough when setting up printers. I havnt used it much though so still trying to figure out the ins and outs of it while doing this project so any help would be appreciated.

Configure one of them then use Acronis/Clonezilla to image the rest of the machines?

There can only be one copy of the software running at a time due to serial #, so if machine 15 and 16 both have Final Cut with the same serial number it would return an error wouldn't it?


Using UIElement Inspector the window I need to click a button on is named "". I have no idea how to get the name of this window lol.

Ok figured out a few different things, I can use "click at (location)" to get past a few issues I have. Now I need to figure out how to add text to a field from another document and then modify that document...this should be fun.

You can just change the serial keys on each machine.
