    Sleep(2000)
    
    
    $hFile = FileOpen(@TempDir & "\dir.txt", 0)
    
; Check if file opened for reading OK
    If $hFile = -1 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    EndIf
    
    $sLine = FileReadLine($hFile)
    
    If not FileExists($sline) then
    ;mouse click the next position
    ; run... install.. bla bla
    EndIf
    
; for testing
    MsgBox(0,"test", $sLine )

My mistake, it found the file and output the path to the message box at the end. Awesome code!

I also tried setting $_File to a folder and it worked like a charm!

I will play with this a bit further. Thank you so much for your help, so far!

OK, the code Valuater provided me works like a charm, but I'm still having trouble.

I don't know how to relate his code to the Steam gui.

If I find Counter Strike: Source listed in the program folder, how do I tell the mouse to click on Couter Strike: Source in the list in the gui?
