I found what looks like a useful Windows scripting language

Windows 3.1 used to have the ability to record macros, a capability that never made it to later versions. There are a lot of things batch files can’t do. But I spotted a reference to AutoIt on Digg, and that looks useful.Basically it will script keystrokes and mouse movements, as well as giving you BASIC-like program logic. It’s not something you need often, but when you need it, you’ll need it badly.

If you found this post informative or helpful, please share it!

    Someone will probably be commenting that we used it to speed the deployment of a unified messaging client. It turns out to be pretty handy for streamlining installations of software, among other things. AutoIT, run from a vb script, made all of the "click next" stuff just go away, and completed something like 95% of the installs without any issues.
