Why doesn't this work

[axslinger 0]

I'm trying to get the following code to work. I just want to press the "OK" button, but it won't happen. I've use ControlSend as well as the following code. Ive also tried ControlClick but every time I use the Window Info tool, the control (the OK button) has a different control number.

Run("spybotsd15he-beta1.exe")
WinWaitActive("Open File - Security Warning")
ControlClick("Open File - Security Warning", "run this file", "[ID:4423]")
WinWaitActive("Select Setup Language", "&Select the language")
ControlFocus("Select Setup Language", "Select the language", "")
Send("{ENTER}")

It just hangs at the screenshot I've included.

thanks for your help.

Probably because it's waiting on the highlighted line above to appear.

I guess I should have pointed out, by then its already past that line. Its the first thing that appears after the run line.

Is the '&' here a mistake?

WinWaitActive("Select Setup Language", "&Select the language")oÝ÷ Øè¶'v+wöÉè¶)í+(殶­sd6öçG&öÄfö7W2gV÷Cµ6VÆV7B6WGWÆæwVvRgV÷C²ÂgV÷Cµ6VÆV7BFRÆæwVvRgV÷C²ÂgV÷C²gV÷C²

also, a focus is not the same as a click... was that intentional?

I've never had much luck using WinWaitActive in scripts such as this. Try using just WinWait if Danwilli's observations don't resolve your issue.

Edit: Poor wording.

That version of my code had been butchered from trying numerous things. This is the latest thing I've tried:

Run("spybotsd15he-beta1.exe")
WinWaitActive("Open File - Security Warning")
ControlClick("Open File - Security Warning", "run this file", "[ID:4423]")
WinWait("Select Setup Language","")
Send("{ENTER}")

It seems to me that should work but it just pauses with the icon in the tray. All I want to do is click "OK"...at this rate it'll be 2050 before I can make anything useful from AutoIT. (I do however appreciate everyones help!).
