Question:

The Setup program normally requires users to click on some dialog boxes. How can I automate that using WinBatch? Is there any example that automates clicking dialog box?

Answer:

It depends. In a lot of cases you can just send keystrokes. For more complicated problems, you can try downloading our Control Manager extender. Here's an example that installs Microsoft Web Administration software.

;CHANGE ACCORDING TO YOUR SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AS TO WHERE
;WEBADMIN.EXE IS LOCATED.


intcontrol(12,5,0,0,0)

TimeDelay(1)
dacommand='h:\post2\webadmin\webadmin.exe'
run(dacommand,'')

;'Web based+Please read={TAB}#~'

WinWaitExist(windowtitle,-1)
windowtitle=WinIDGet(windowtitle)

   intcontrol(36,windowtitle,5,0,0)
   Sendkeysto(windowtitle,'{TAB}')
