Sikuli on Server controlling actions on Client

Asked by Priyanka Goyal

My server is Windows 7 where I have Sikuli script running. My client is Windows CE. I have to tweak the script in a way that I could run Sikuli script from my server and it could perform GUI operations on client WIndows CE. I am only 2 weeks old with Sikuli scripting language.

I cannot make Sikuli script running on windows CE Client. It can only be on Windows 7 Server. Can any one provide me an idea how to tweak it in a desired way?

For example, I have a small demo script of Sikuli where it opens C: and copies folder DEMO into drive E: . I want to perform this action on CE client while Sikuli script is still residing on the Server. I am not sure if we can do it this way or anything similar? Script to run on the server but actions to happen on client?

Both server-client are connected on the same private network.

Please help. Your help and support is appreciated.

Thank you!

Run VNC Server on WindowsCE, and Connect from VNC Viewer on Windows7.
In this way, by display WindowsCE screen on Windows7, SikuliX script on Windows7 can control WindowsCE screen.

I have not tried yet this environment, but it worked good between Windows10 and Windows7.

Thank you for your answer. I can install programs on my WindowsCE environment automatically, not manually. Only condition here is "I cannot touch WindowsCE to manually install anything". VNC idea is great!

So far my Windows 7 Server is DHCP now and as I connect my Windows CE client to it, it gives CE an IP and detects it. Now I am struggling how can I install VNC server from Windows 7 server automatically. I cannot touch CE.

I am finding ways to run remote commands on CE but no luck so far! Still working on it. But as I figure out, I have to install VNC Server automatically from Windows 7 to windows CE client. Then run my sikuli script through VNC Viewer and uninstall VNC Server from CE and my task is done.

Also, This client-server has its own private network. They are not connected to internet. I hope there must be a solution for these constrained environment practices.

Thank you,
Priyanka

I can not understand this situation why you can not touch WindowsCE to manually install anything.
Sorry I have no idea.

Can you help with this problem?
