hey,

not sure what the installer for Encarta is like but you might want to look into using ControlClick (and the other commands similar to this) which usually allow for much more reliable control when dealing with windows applications and installers. Basically you would have to open the installer to the spot that has the button you would like to press, open the AutoIT Window Info program, mouse over the button on the installer (ensuring it has focus) and then take note of the control ID of the button.

The command would then look something like this:

ControlClick ( "windowtitlehere", "optional text here", 5 ) ;5 is the control id of the control you would like to click
