Can not interact with a dialog box

[CygnusX1]

Hello, 

I have a dialog box that pops up during an install on a foreign OS. In this case Spanish. The dialog displays a message the program being installed needs to install .Net, CRT, and C++. When inspected the dialog it seems normal. I can get control IDs, Text, Position, everything. But when I try to have AutoIt interact with it e.g. move it, click a button, click on a control, ControlGetFocus, Send("{TAB}"), ControlClick(). Nothing works. What even weirder is I can WinActivate the dialog but then can't move the mouse with MouseMove. If I don't WinActivate(), I can use the MouseMove() function. I can not figure out how to interact with the dialog box.

Any thoughts on a way to interact with this dialog box?

Thanks.

did you try ?

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)

Sure is weird that you can activate the window but not do anything else, and the mouse issue..

How are you giving the title to the functions? just normal title, or did you try class or otherwise?

Apparently, I left out one really important detail. I'm trying to automate on/in a Virtual Machine using VMWare. After doing a search I found this may not be possible.
