AutoIt is a freeware Windows automation language. It can be used to script most
simple Windows-based tasks (great for PC rollouts or home automation).

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.

external .dll files or registry entries required making it safe to use on
Servers. Scripts can be compiled into stand-alone executables with
Aut2Exe.Also
supplied is a combined COM and DLL version of AutoIt called
AutoItX that allows
