Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for automating installation of applications. In one aspect, the system launches an application installer of a software application; identifies control elements in an active window of the application installer, wherein the control elements include at least user interface (UI) elements responsible for transitioning the active window to another window of the application installer; transitions to other windows of the application installer and identifies control elements in all other windows of the application installer until the application is installed; generates an automatic installation rule for the application that automatically activates one or more windows of the application installer and one or more control elements of said window to install the application without a participation of a user.
