New Install

[jestoner]

I have worked through a bunch of hoops to get here, and just hit a wall with this one.  I have a MS Office install and when I run it the window on it appears 3 times, each time with the same label.  I would like to be able to select close on it automatically and move to the next software.  When I try and get the info for the window, it is identical to the starting window, but has different info in it.  When I look at visible text, there is none.  I have it set now so that I can manually click close and continue, but I want to walk away and have it continue to work.

Recommend you use the Microsoft Office Customization Tool for configuring Microsoft Office for silent installation, some good information can be found here:

Or

Google Search

Microsoft Office Customization Tool
Microsoft Office Setup.exe admin

In case you don't want to configure microsoft office for a silent install, you could of course us imagesearch, but it's a bad solution.

Then why suggest it? Subz has already suggested the correct way to do this; suggesting something as unreliable as imagesearch is simply going to compound the OP's frustrations.

No harm in having extra info right? I just suggested it in case OP wanted to stick with autoit instead of customizing the install. That being said, while a bit unstable as far as dealing with changes from what you program it for, it's great for repetitive tasks that can't be automated in any other way or are equally unreliable with other methods. I mean if you want to click on a start menu, and you never cover up the start menu.. it will never fail in my experience (not what I use it for).

There is when you yourself state it is a bad solution. There is an industry standard solution for creating a silent install of Office, which can then be deployed with AutoIt just fine.

As to your suggestion on launching the Start Menu with ImageSearch..
