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 Compaq's Support Software Diskette.

run(dacommand,'')
