But what i want is i have an application in one folder which contains setup file, i have to invoke that setup file and complete the installation process of that application through my perlscript. example: if office2K application in D drive. now after run my perlscript, it automatically invoke that setup file in D drive and press next, next ,install and finishes the installation. ofcourse we can hardcode the application key. hope this understands much clear. plse let me know . thanks

    Hi vsr28in,

    Your description here is much better, yet very different from what I thought you described in your previous post. Launching the install executable should not be a big problem. Regards driving the installer I think you may want to look at the Win32::GuiTest. You could use a combination of the FindWindowLike, SendKeys and the mouse movement/click methods to find the the instaler window, input the required data and complete the installation. Check out the documentation.

    Hope this helps.

    Martin
