run installation in the background

First off, what is the name of the application you're installing? If it doesn't support a silent install, it will be difficult to make it so. Also, realize, from your installation.txt, that all those MouseClicks are not going to work if the window is not visible. You'd have to re-architect the script to use the Control* commands.

If your application supports a silent install you do not need to automate the installation GUI.
So please provide the name of the program you need to install.

Google can't find anything about this program. But I'm sure a professional security program offers a silent installation option.
Did you have a look at the installation manual?

Could you give me an example script about these control commands, please?

The help file can give you numerous examples.

ControlClick: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/ControlClick.htm

and ControlSend: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/ControlSend.htm

are what you'll want to look at for interacting with a hidden window. You'll likely need to use the AutoIt Window Info tool to get control IDs if available: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/au3spy.htm

 

That being said, looking at your installation.txt (next time instead of uploading a file, you can post the code into your post using the insert Code button, looks like <>), I see that you're using GUISetState(@SW_HIDE) which isn't the correct function. Any GUI* function is for GUIs that YOU create. You want to look at the WinSetState function: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/WinSetState.htm

 

We ought not to misbehave, but we should look as though we could.
