Adrian Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi, I am trying to automate the installation of an application delivered using the BitRock installation program. Au3Info (and autoit itself) can see NO INFORMATION AT ALL except the window dimensions and the title. I have tried WinDetectHiddenText on but to no avail. No text is "visible" to autoit at all... it makes it nigh on impossible to test for specific conditions and act accordingly. Has anyone come across anything like this before and does anyone have any advice please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to be able to detect these.I'm really stuck... anyone know why this bitrock installer isn't visible to autoit?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 If this is the Bit Rock InstallBuilder or another of their products, then checking their FAQs at their site may give you a silent switch to use so it just installs unattended for you. I am not sure what language the installer is made from. It seems cross platform but they say it is not Java based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
