Can I use AutoIt script to Install Microsoft DirectX SDK?

[newcome]

I need to automate the install process for 8 software. 2 of them are Microsofte product (MS Direct X and Windows SDK); 6 are Intel software. But the autoIt Send/ Control Click function does not work for any of them. Since I'm new to AutoIt, I'm not sure is the script I wrote wrone or is the install software I have has blocked automated mouse and key strokes.

Is there any one use AutoIt script succesfuly installed MS DirectX SDK and Windows SDK for Windows 7?

Below is the autoIt script and the console log:

; Opt("wintitlematchmode", 2)

;Global $cmd = "C:\Vcsource\AutoIT_install\sw_install\intel_sdk_for_ocl_applications_2012_x64_setup.exe"

local $wintitle = "Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)"

FileChangeDir("C:\Vcsource\AutoIT_install\sw_install")

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c' & "DXSDK_Jun10.exe")

Sleep(2000)

Local $shwndInstall = WinWait($wintitle)

$shwndInstall = WinGetHandle($wintitle)

If IsHWnd($shwndInstall) Then

If WinActivate($shwndInstall) Then

If ControlClick ( $shwndInstall, "", "[CLASS:Button;INSTANCE:2]" ) Then

ConsoleWrite("Able to click button" & @CRLF)

Else

ConsoleWrite("NOT able to click button" & @CRLF)

EndIf

EndIf

Else

ConsoleWrite("Install window is not activated " & @CRLF)

EndIf

Console output:

Have you considered a silent install?

It may not be relevant but its just a thought

Launch setup in silent mode so that users do not accidentally skip updating the DirectX runtime. You can do this by launching dxsetup.exe with the following command:

path-to-redistributabledxsetup.exe /silent

Chimera, Thank you! Your suggestion is very good and it will help me to get my task done for now. And I will find out hou to use AutoIt to get it done later.

I just go to web site to check dxsetup.exe. It is older version of software. I will check tomorrow and see for the latest MS DirectX SDK can be installed silently.
