    Automatically Install Installation

    Using Visual Basic is there any way to create code that will automatically run an Installation pacakage. For example, will auotmatically click on Next, etc....

    In other words a way to take an .exe of an installation pacakage and be able to manipulate the install process..

    Some of the install programs are like the windows one & accept command line parameters. To see if your one does, goto a DOS prompt & type :

    C:\Path\TheSetupFile.exe /?

    Also, you can take a look at the vb send keys and SendMessage APi call to click buttons or select boxes etc.
