Hi there,
I have just discovered the power of scripting with AutoIT, and have a working knowledge of programming languages. I'm trying to automate a bunch of software installations one after the other. The only way I know to do this is to use the WinWaitActive in conjunction with the Send (or ControlSend) functions to step through each installation process, choosing the settings that matter. With Office 2010, there are no special options, just "Install Now". However, after installation completes, the window that says it is finished actually reports as having no visible text using the AutoIT window info, even though there is highlightable text showing in the window. To me, this means I can't determine when installation is finished, or do anything to close the window because I can't address it. The Title is the same Title that shows when the setup is first started. AutoIT Window Info does show that there is Hidden Text, but specifying it in the WinWaitActive function doesn't seem to work. Has anyone come across this behavior? I'd be happy to use the silent install, but I'm not sure how to confirm that installation is complete so that I can have the script move on to the next installation.
Thanks, and if anyone needs further info, just let me know.
