my origional post..was resolved..and I no longer have that problem. I have also attempted by using the button names - the program is when the progress screen comes up. I hear a ping noise which means that autoit went onto the next send command - but received that response as error noise - not allowed at the time. I need autoit to wait until the progress window is done:(

This is my first AutoIt script I am trying to great. so that during my installation for windows it installs picasa for me. so far it seems that every window that comes up as the same title. Which is fine until after install then it shows the bar for progress of the installation. For some reason:( during this point it sends my send commands and doesn't do it on the next windows as I want it too. Hope this makes since. code below is Run("picasa.exe") WinWait("Picasa2 Setup") If Not WinActive("Picasa2 Setup") Then WinActivate("Picasa2 Setup") WinWaitActive("Picasa2 Setup") Send("{ENTER}") WinWait("Picasa2 Setup") If Not WinActive("Picasa2 Setup") Then WinActivate("Picasa2 Setup") WinWaitActive("Picasa2 Setup") Send("{TAB}") Send("{TAB}") Send("{TAB}") Send("{ENTER}") WinWait("Picasa2 Setup") If Not WinActive("Picasa2 Setup") Then WinActivate("Picasa2 Setup") WinWaitActive("Picasa2 Setup") Send("{TAB}") Send("{SPACE}") any help would be great

thanks for the advice. it helped me finally figure out what was happening. when I would run picasa2 manual i would get that window with a security warning. where as when it was ran thru autoit - it when straight to the Picasa Setup window. remove the first half of the code and it now works:)

I have just started to try to learn how to use autoit. I am currently trying to use it to auto install picasa2 for me. so far I haven't gotten far at all. The code I have is Run("picasa.exe") WinWait("Open File - Security Warning") If Not WinActive("Open File - Security Warning") Then WinActivate("Open File - Security Warning") WinWaitActive("Open File - Security Warning") Send("&Run") WinWait("Picasa2 Setup") If Not WinActive("Picasa2 Setup") Then WinActivate("Picasa2 Setup") WinWaitActive("Picasa2 Setup") Send("{ENTER}") when I run this script it opens the program. It gets past the security warning, but then stops there. It doesn't Click enter to go to the next windows. The weird thing is if I close the program and autoit script is still running....at this time ( I can then manual open picasa myself and it clicks thru the screens for me. Any help would be great. thanks,
