Hi!

I am trying to install a software in Windows. The s/w has only GUI mode installation. I have found that Win32::Setupsup module can be used to automate the installation. But when I was trying to use this module, I faced a problem to send data in a text field and then press the "next" button. I have installed the module in Perl v5.6.1 on w2k. Here is my code 

  
use strict;
use Win32::Setupsup qw(WaitForAnyWindow GetWindowProperties SendKeys S
+etFocus);

my ($window);
system (1, "setup.exe");

if (WaitForAnyWindow("windows name", \$window, 6000, 500))     
{
  SetFocus ($window);
  sleep (2);
  SendKeys ($windows,'textvalue',1);
  sleep (1);
  SendKeys ($windows,'\\TAB\\',1);
  sleep (1);
  SendKeys ($windows,'\\RET\\',1);        
 sleep (2);
}

But the keystroke is not going to the text field which is desirable to me. Any pointer how to send keystroke to the text field? Any help really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
