[Beginner] Can't get mouseclick function to work

[barraroo]

I am a newbie to autoit and trying to get the mouseclick function to automatically press a button as part of an install process.  After trying and failing to use ControlClick and MouseClick with a co-ords specified.  I tried to simplify the code as far as possible however it is still not working.  What am I doing wrong here?

ShellExecute("npp.7.8.1.Installer.x64.exe")
WinWaitActive("Installer Language")
sleep(3000)
MouseClick("left")

Notepad++ offers an installation using commandline parameters. Have a look at the help for Run or RunWait.

The command string reads : Run("npp.7.8.1.Installer.x64.exe /S", "", @SW_HIDE)

/S means silent. With /D= you can specify an alternative target directory (if desired).

You probably have to put #RequireAdmin at the beginning of the script.

look at controlclick. It will allow you to interact with a control even when the window does not have focus. 

As Misashi suggest - use command line. Look here for more information: http://www.get-itsolutions.com/notepad-silent-install-exe-msi-version/

You should use ControlClick() with ClassNameNN parameter instead of X,Y coordinates in such case.
