Difficult Final Stage of Office 2016 Upgrade - (Moved)

[Tikkatakka]

Hi there,

This is my second project using auto IT and have run into a problem I cant surmount myself. Usually I am progressing things using  examples from here, and the web in general, automating installations - my usual remit with AutoIT. 

Part of my job requires installing office 2016 in upgrade mode. All is well until the process completes and a "Close" button appears. Using the Window Info tool literally 'nothing' has

changed in light of visible/hidden text, control buttons/ID's or anything as far as I can tell. It's rather frustrating. I have tried taking off Spy++ to see if that reveals more info but to no avail. 

I can use a sleep command but I'm dealing with SDD machines and older HDD so it's going to be unreliable unless I create a massive timeout to takecare of the install time differences which then defeats the purpose of what I'm attempting to achieve. 

Is there perhaps way to silently keep clicking in the mouse coordinates region of where the button appears and then stop once the button is pressed so I can then progress with the rest of it, which is easy enough (new window info & button ID's etc.) ?

Code so far below, apologies if it's really banal stuff, keen to see how to progress from here for other scenarios that maybe similar in future projects. Thanks in advance for any ideas. 

; Script Start - Add your code below here
#requireadmin
AutoItSetOption('SendKeyDelay', 5)
Run(@ScriptDir & '\setup.exe')
AutoItSetOption('MouseCoordMode', 0)

WinWait('Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016', 'EULAID:O16_RTM_VL.1_RTM_EN')
WinActivate('Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016')
sleep(3000)
MouseClick('primary', 175, 515, 1, 0)
sleep(3000)
MouseClick('primary', 500, 520, 1, 0)

WinWait('Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016')
WinActivate('Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016')
MouseClick('primary', 310, 213, 1, 0)

sleep(350000)

WinWait('Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016')
WinActivate('Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016')
MouseClick('primary', 548, 522, 1, 0)

WinWait('Setup')
WinActivate('Setup')
sleep(500)
ControlClick('Setup', '', 'Button1')

Use SILENT INSTALL switch from command line

Use this guide  You will need a configuration XML file

Other than that you will have to use you Uiautomation Because standard autoit cannot interact with WPF forms
