New to autoIT first project need help!

[Pseudonymous]

the goal is to auto install an application with 1 click.

so far I have this.

Run("C:\Users\hjohnson\Desktop\ALLIT-GMU-CHT Remote Support Standard Procedures\..1..ccsetup321.exe")

Winwaitactive("(installer language)")

Send("{enter}")

The program launches but does not seem to register "enter", but when I press enter on my keyboard it goes to the next step of the installation process. So I am not understanding if I am doing the send wrong? I have tried the send that holds the key but no better result. Please help.

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

You posted in the wrong forum. The developer forum is "A place for the v3 developers and C++ geeks to talk."

Please post questions in the General Help and Support or the Graphical User Interface (GUI) Help and Support forum.

1) Try adding a short Sleep() before Send("{ENTER}")

2) Try ControlSend()

3) Try ControlClick()

4) Try ControlFocus() before all of the above.

Hi, Pseudonymous. It appears from your post that you're trying to automate the install of CCleaner. Is there any reason you're not just doing a silent install, rather than trying to click your way through the GUI install? Something like this should suffice:

ShellExecuteWait("ccsetup321.exe", '/s')

If you're interested in all the command line options, you can check here : http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/advanced-usage/command-line-parameters

I second JLogan. Don't try to automate a installer that has silent switches. It's just faster and much less of a headache to used the provided silent install feature.
