[VBscript] How to give focus to a window


Question

How can i give focus to a window? The thing is I am trying to do an unattended install of Ad-Aware and I'm running a VBscript to enter the installation password automatically.

Here the code

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
On Error Resume Next
WshShell.run "%SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe"
WScript.Sleep 2000
WshShell.SendKeys "H:\Adaware.exe /S"
WshShell.SendKeys "~"

WScript.Sleep 8000
WshShell.SendKeys "123456"
WScript.Sleep 2000
WshShell.SendKeys "~"

WScript.Sleep 2000
WshShell.SendKeys "exit"
WshShell.SendKeys "~"

Wscript.Quit

As you can see I'm running the cmd prompt to run the adaware silent mode installation then I need to give focus to the password windows that pops up while installing and then I would like to give focus again to cmd prompt so it closes.

Any help is apreciated

note I erased my code just entered 123456

    • They always have. This just updates what's included out of the box during the initial install.
    • So basically their prebuilding it into the ISOs?
    • Microsoft shares Defender anti-virus update for new Windows 11/10 ISOs by Sayan Sen Following the one for Lumma last month, Microsoft has also published a new Defender update for Windows 11/10/Server installation images this month. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 (Enterprise, Pro, and Home editions), Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0 was released this past week adds threat detections for various backdoor exploits, trojans, among others. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.431.155.0 at the time of writing.
