Question

I am trying to install a .msi file using powershell. But I cannot find a way to in set check boxes while installation. Anyone know how to do it?

Answer 1

Typical powershell installation script steps:

1.Invoke-Item ‘C:\Script\somefile.exe’

Run given app (also .msi).

2.Select-Window PROCESS-NAME | Set-WindowActive

Set focus on the installer window, so you are able to send simulated keys to the installer.

3.Select-window PROCESS-NAME | Send-Keys “{ENTER}” | Send-Click

confirms given screen.

4.Select-window PROCESS-NAME | Send-Keys “{TAB}” | Send-Click

switches tabs in a given window.

5.Select-window PROCESS-NAME | Send-Keys ” ” | Send-Click

activates/deactivates active option button.

6.Select-Window PROCESS-NAME | Select-control| Send-Keys “123456789 1234” | Send-Click

gives you the method to fill textboxes.

7.Select-window PROCESS-NAME | Select-control | select-control -title “CHECK-BOX NAME” | Send-Click

The part which you are interested in is point 7. You need to know the checkbox name and then you can send click command to it.
