Windows GUI installer automation

[Moses2492]

Hi,

 

Pretty new to Auto-IT.

I want to create an automation installation on my server for a specific installer.

I was able to click buttons (next buttons and etc')

My question is how I can insert text values (lets say IP addresses, username and passwords) automatically for a specific rubric on the installer?

Tried to follow KBs of Autoit without success.

Thanks you all.

Welcome,

There is not enough information there to give you an proper answer. 
You need to provide the script with your effort and include the info found with AU3INFO about the Window/Control information which you are trying to provide info for.

Hi,

 

Sorry for the misinformation - new here as I said

 

The script is basic:

 

 

#RequireAdmin
Run(@ScriptDir & '\WebsenseInstaller-8.6.2.225.exe')
AutoItSetOption('MouseCoordMode', 0)

WinWait('Forcepoint Security Setup')
WinActivate('Forcepoint Security Setup')
MouseClick('primary', 363, 206, 1, 0)

 

I try to launch Forcepoint program installer and to click with MouseClick on "Modify Button":

 

 

Please let me know if any other information is needed.

 

Thanks!

When I set the MouseClick as mentioned- I see the click being happen on different place (the position on the Autoit is 363 ,203.

 

Regards.

Your screenshot shows the program may be able to be controlled with ControlClick, which would be more reliable if supported. For your particular application, I think this might work:

ControlClick("Forcepoint Security Setup", "", "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.STATIC.app.0.33c0d9d; Instance:17]", "Left")

Often Installers or Setup programs provide a so-called Silent / Quiet option. This allows various settings to be passed to the Installer using command line parameters. You should check if this is possible with your software.

I tried:

ControlClick("Forcepoint Security Setup", "", "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.STATIC.app.0.33c0d9d; Instance:17]", "Left")

 

Unfortunately no success.

Since we do not see the full class name of the control, there maybe an misspell.  Try using the id directly :

ControlClick("Forcepoint Security Setup", "", 2949354, "Left")

FYI, the positon of the control shown in the Au3info tool is the client area position.  The position of the mouse shown in the tool will depend on Option/CoordMode menu.

ps. use tags when you post code as described in the link

i never had any luck with win10 forms and standard autoit. standard autoit cannot interact with WPF applications

 

i would try UIAutomation instead. See FAQ 31
