Need to write a script to automate installation of a program.

The program has a predetermined number of "Next", "Accept" and "Ok" buttons.

Basically I need a means of clicking those buttons and tabbing to the right button (i can do it based on tab order as i know how many tabs are required/the menus are static).

What is a way to do it?

Thought about perl-libwin32 for the win32 API but its too much work for me as I dont know win32 programming.

 
If it uses Windows Installer, then you don't need anything that advanced. Open a command prompt and type "msiexec". Figure out hte options you want (for instance "/quiet") and put it in a bat file.

That works great for the .MSI but I also have .EXE based installers. Any idea if there is something similar available?

The one you provided ROCKS if I'm doing all MSI (when in fact, I have 1 MSI and 4 EXE based)

Any other ideas people?
