in reply to Script to open an IE address and run an exe file

Win32::IE::Mechanize might help, but why use IE to run an exe? Do you mean Windows Explorer?

    Sorry i was a bit vague, late night typing. The problem i have is a need to go to about 30 different computers and access the company server to download and run a program once it updates. I have been experimenting using win32::OLE and can get ie to open at the page i need for the program. What I would like to do it is run a script that opens the exe file on the site and automatically selects the various options, so that the program selects the various options like run, accept licenses and inputs the value into the fields when required.

      PsExec, and perhaps AutoIt. And consider installing some administration software (software distribution, desktop remote control) next time.
