False pushes with Oracle Universal Installer

[NetRanger]

Hi all! I'm trying to make unattended installation of Oracle Client with Oracle Universal Installer, but oftenly got false pushes of buttons. I mean, if the code is {TAB 3}{RIGHT 3}{TAB 4}{ENTER}, then one of the block oftenly working like +1, like {TAB 4}{RIGHT 3}{TAB 4}{ENTER}, what's I don't want to. How to avoid such behavior of AutoIt and does AutoIt have a problems with Java apps (due different windows style)? A script designed for x32 systems and it's ran on x32 systems. OS: Windows 7 (x32), 1 Gb RAM

I found instead of using "Enter" to assume default "ok/next" buttons that I had much better luck with using the specific key combination.  I also needed to slow down the send speed for some computers.  Here is just an example that I used recently.

Why are you not following Oracle's own best practices by creating a response file and then doing a silent install, rather than going through all the headache of trying to automate the GUI?

I have tried, but response file don't make full installation, only till "Summary" windows. Also I have suspicions, that's didn't work properly with OS early, than Windows 7.

Well, I have used the response file numerous times, and it does a silent install (you don't even see "Summary" windows). Good luck on your project..

[NetRanger]

I can say, that's a response file really can facilitate an install, but the additional installing (like Net Configuration Assistant) is beyond .rsp file opportunities. But it's no matter now, cuz I have managed to make full install of Oracle Client.
