ActiveTcl v8.4.13.0 - can't install silently

Has anyone been able to install ActiveTcl silently ? None of the typical silent install parameters seem to work, and it uses some bizarre installer that doesn't seem to expose the controls for scripting.

http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActiveTcl/

For example, the Next button doesn't have a keyboard shortcut, nor does it seem to have a ControlID or any text visible on it. Plus, the actual window title in the window bar disagrees with the window title reported by the AutoIt Info utility ...

Actual text in title bar is ActiveState ActiveTcl 8.4.13.0 Installer

Reported title in Info is ActiveState Active Tcl 8.4.13.0 Installer - note the space between Active and Tcl.

The only hook available to the Next button is the ClassNameNN, which is TkChild3. Here's the code I'm using in AutoIT ...

; First screen - Startup
$ret = 0
while $ret == 0
$ret = WinWaitActive ( "ActiveState Active", "", 5 )
if $ret == 0 then WinActivate ( "ActiveState Active" )
wend
; Click Next
ControlClick ( "ActiveState Active", "", "TkChild3" )

The script just falls right through. The ControlClick operations seem to just vanish.

Any ideas ?
