Same Question #1041

Open tanrhua opened 4 years ago

Hi there, I have the same issue. I can use Inspect.exe to catch the controls of an InstallShield window, but I cannot find the windows or any controls though c# code. Also, I cannot use UIRecorder to catch the XPath or controls' tree for an InstallShield windows. Is there any difference between InstallShield window and UWP or WPF, WinForms? How can I find an installShield windows from an desktopSession ?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, Please choose a better title for your issue.

I have the same issue.

Could you link it?

If you can find the controls with Inspect.exe there should be no problem. Can you get the AutomationId or Name of the controls? Consider to post your code here. Why can't you find elements? An Exception is thrown? Which and where?

Not for me, i have automated installers with WinAppDriver.
