Long Description 1:
AutoIt is a simple tool that can simulate key presses, mouse movements and window commands in order to automate any windows based task. It was primarily designed to assist in automatically installing software that cannot be automatically installed by other means. This is most useful during a PC rollout where thousands of client machines need to be automatically installed. However, AutoIt can also be used as a general purpose scripting language.
Long Description 2:
AutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages (e.g. VBScript and SendKeys). AutoIt is also very small, self-contained and will run on all versions of Windows out-of-the-box with no annoying 'runtimes' required!
AutoIt was initially designed for PC 'roll out' situations to reliably automate and configure thousands of PCs. Over time it has become a powerful language that supports complex expressions, user functions, loops and everything else that veteran scripters would expect.

Also supplied is a combined COM and DLL version of AutoIt called AutoItX that allows you to add the unique features of AutoIt to your own favourite scripting or programming languages!
