Don't understand why can't send("{KEYS}")

[jgriner0918]

Hello, 
 
So I have a little program that I'm writing to automate some installations. I have successfully written a file that can do Adobe Reader, but now I'm on to RealPlayer.
 
My issue comes up near the end. After the program installs, a window pops up asking the user if he/she would like to upgrade to RealPlayer 16 Plus. I do not want to and would like to close that window. 
 
Here is my code:

Run("RealPlayer.exe")
WinWaitActive("RealPlayer Install Wizard", "END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT")
Send("{ENTER}")
Send("{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{SPACE}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}")
Sleep(40000)
Send("{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}")
MsgBox(0, "Close", "Should be closed")
ProcessClose("RealPlayer.exe")

The command after the Sleep(40000) aren't working. The message box pops up, but the "SEND" command doesn't seem to be doing anything. Any thoughts or ideas would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Hi jgriner0918,

  and welcome to the forum!

Almost all (if not all) active windows can be closed with ALT + F4

no silent installer available...?

Edit: P.S. there are other more reliable ways to interact with windows using AutoIt.

using the window info tool that comes with it and getting detailed info about the windows controls and then using ControlSend ControlClick etc...

can you try putting #requireadmin on top of the line and see if that helps?

Thanks guys, but I'm still stuck. The Alt+F4 trick didn't work. I have RequireAdmin at the top of the file. When I use the AutoIt Window Info program, the window that is giving me trouble has a generic title and no text, hidden or visible.

I put a MsgBox in there to give me a breakpoint. If I actually click into the window and do the Alt F4, then it works, or if I click into the window then use the TABS, then it'll work. But somehow, when I try to do it automatically, it doesn't work.

Just an FYI, you do realize that your sleep is set to 40 seconds?

You will have to find a way to interact with that window when it actually has focus and then use the ALT F4 (at least now you know it works)

It just has to be active when you send the command.
