Use Win32::SetupSup
or use a third party freeware app called AutoIT
Both will send keystrokes/clicks/etc to a gui app..

Subject: How do you Pass an ID and Password to a program that wants to
prompt you for it
I am trying to create a silent install script. I have the install working
but after the install is done you have to sign on once. This is required
for the services to work. Currently I install the software silently. Then
I have to run a command "dsmc". Then I install the services silently.
When dsmc is run it prompts for an ID and then after you type it and press
enter a password.
Now the command it self is supposed to be able to take the switches -Node
(for ID) and -Password. However even when passed correctly you are still
prompted the very first time this is run. So I am looking for a way to have
Perl send the ID then a carage return and then the password to see if I can
get it to fill in for me. Can this be done?
