.bat files + clicking YES or NEXT within a wizard

bbuck · 04-07-2009, 02:01 PM

I am trying to use a .bat to execute several OS updates. My problem is it doesn’t make it past the point where the installation wizard asks you to click on “Agree” for the terms and conditions.
How would you tell the file to click “Next” or “Agree”

I've suggested this language a few times today. But rather than using batch use this:

AutoHotkey

It won't take long to work it out. And you can use the "Macro Recorder"...

If you can't be bothered (It does seem a little overkill) then just get a basic macro record/player and have it run).

Cheers,
Jamey

You want to Chain the updates together.
