FrontPage97 Installation Sample Script 

Keywords:    FrontPage97 Installation

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 FrontPage 97
