I would like to automate a windows app that comes only with as a GUI app (no support for command-line). The automation itself is relatively straightforward with AutoIt.
Yet, I am wondering, is-it possible to launch the Windows App from with a windows service (that would simply call the AutoIt script)?
Even if Auto-it can work with UAC, you will most likely run into Session Isolation troubles – i.e services and desktop don’t mix and send messages to each other, unless explicitely coded to pass through it.
So it’s possible, but it’s not a piece of cake either.
