pretty standard window.  But I cannot click this button to save my life.  I have tried Controlclick ID 1, I have Tried Controlclick ClassnameNN Buton1, they just do not work.  What is even more weird is that the controlclick returns a code of 1, as if it were successful!  My latest attempt is winkill and winclose, those do not work either.  Youll see by the following script that I have a msbox near the end, that is a sanity check so i know the window is seen, and that works fine.

Run ("msiexec.exe /i Picomclient.msi"); Runs installer
WinWaitActive ("Picom", "To continue"); Waits for installer window
ControlClick ("Picom", "To continue", 3737); clicks next button
WinWaitActive ("Picom", "Customer Information"); waits for customer info screen
ControlSetText ("Picom", "Customer Information", 5341, "User"); set username field
ControlSetText ("Picom", "Customer Information", 5385, "MIR"); set org field
ControlClick ("Picom", "Customer Information",3737); clicks next button
WinWaitActive ("Picom", "Ready to Install"); waits for ready to install screen
ControlClick ("Picom", "Ready to Install",3742); clicks Install button
WinWaitActive("PICOM","Due to high volume of data");waits for drive selection window
MsgBox (0, "test", "Found Window")
WinClose ("PICOM", "Due to high volume")

ControlClick("PICOM", "OK", "[Classnn:Button1]")

Did you try it like this ?, assuming PICOM is the MAIN program window

[wisem2540]

Yes.  Just to make sure I wasnt nuts, I did something like this

Winactivate ("PICOM", "OK")

Controlclick ("PICOM, "OK", "[ClassNN:Button1]")

When I do that, the window activates as it should, but the click doesnt seem to happen.  Even though controlclick seems to return a 1 as if successful.

thanks for your reply.  In the meantime, I am going to try this on a different OS other than win7 x64

[wisem2540]

This seems to work fine under XP....  interesting.

EDIT works fine under Win7 32bit as well.  Seems to only NOT work on win7 x64

any advice on that?

Hmm maybe you have an older autoit version not compatible with 64, cause i run win7 x64 and it's working for me on latest autoit version

[wisem2540]

It appears to have been caused by UAC.  Ill need to play around some more and see about turning it off.

You might want to look at this topic, '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

Try without text parameter:

ControlClick('PICOM', '', '[CLASSNN:Button1]')

Thanks for the info guys.  UAC was the answer.  I think probably what was happening was the window was technically a new window and UAC did not like me interacting with it.  All is well.
