I have a exe file in c:/test.exe
I have a script to run the exe.
Script :
require 'watir'
ie=Watir::IE.new
ie.goto("file:///C:/putty.rar")
But unfortunately i was not able to handle the run time windows such as
asking
1. window with Extract and cancel option
2. File path asking window.
How can i automate it? please give a idea..
Thanks in advance.

require "win32ole_pp"
wsh = WIN32OLE.new('WScript.Shell')
puts wsh.AppActivate(dialog_name)
while wsh.AppActivate(dialog_name)
wsh.SendKeys("{enter}")
sleep 0.1
puts "Shoot !"
end
puts "You win !!!!"
end
`C:\\MAIN\\Work\\sw\\tvcnew.exe`

Waiting for ur reply
It seems your are not getting the focus on the target window.
<the argument to AppActivate is the title displayed on the window>
puts wsh.AppActivate("change this string until it works")
wsh.SendKeys("{enter}")
-r.

I believe the AppActivate method searches the text in the title bar of
the open windows.
Based on that, and the image you provided, I suspect that the
AppActivate method fails on this window because the window has no title
bar.

There are some installers which accept command line arguments.
Have you tried in your terminal :
installer.exe --help or installer.exe \h

Maybe process explorer ( from sysinternals ) can help you a bit to
locate the process you need , and you could try to get to it based on a
PID , or it's command line . If that doesn't work , I believe Visual
Studio has a tool ( named spy something ) , which gives you a lot of
information about a window .

FWIW, the AutoIt[1] package contains a tool that which will tell you a tonne of information about the focussed window.
