powershell click on internet explorer popup - powershell

Question

I need to use PowerShell to hit close on this pop up window which appears when I open internet explorer. Hitting enter key also closes the pop up.
What I've tried
[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("'System.Windows.Forms")
[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("'Microsoft.VisualBasic")
$ie = new-object -com internetexplorer.application
$ie.visible = $true
$ie.navigate('http://website/')
while ($ie.busy) { Start-Sleep 3 }
[Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::AppActivate("internet explorer")
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::Sendwait("{ENTER}");
Start-Sleep 3
$link = $ie.Document.getElementsByTagName('Button') | where-object { $_.innerText -eq 'Simple Setup' }
$link.click()
Start-Sleep 2
$ie.quit()

Answer 1

Continuing from my comment.
Others have run into this dialog and others, and, as stated, used Selenium, AutoIT, et., to deal with that; while others have tried different means.
For Example:
# using the process handle of that dialog
$ws = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
$ld = (gps iex* | where {$_.MainWindowTitle }).id
if($ld.Count -gt 1)
{
$ws.AppActivate($ld[1])
$ws.sendkeys("{ENTER}")
}
# Using the WASP module
# (note - though the code for this module is still available, the DLL is not. So, you have to compile that yourself.)
Import-Module WASP
while ($true) {
[System.Threading.Thread]::Sleep(200)
$confirmation = Select-Window iexplore
if ($confirmation -ne $null)
{
Select-ChildWindow -Window $confirmation |
Select-Control -title "OK" -recurse |
Send-Click
}
}
btw..
"Hitting enter key also closes the pop up"
... that is because modal dialogs always take focus until they are dismissed.
