I work at a software company, And we have a product for Windows OS that is installed using a custom installer.
We want to have an automated system that will run the installer on a daily basis, make sure that everything is installed and functional (application installed, appears in Add/Remove, shortcut created, registry keys created, browser addons installed, etc) I also want to test the functionality of the app by using a GUI macro of some sort.
Is there anything like what i'm looking for?

Installation testing is performed to check if the software has been correctly installed with all the inherent features and that the product is working as per expectations. Also known as implementation testing, it is done in the last phase of testing before the end user has his/her first interaction with the product.
Method 2: Start the Windows Installer Service Click Start, and then type CMD in the Search programs and files dialog box. Right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as Administrator. Type net start MSIServer, and then press ENTER. Restart the installation process for the program that you want to install.
We ended up using TestComplete 9 from SmartBear: https://smartbear.com
Its doing exactly what we need, and it has many advanced features like connecting to remote virtual computers for parallel testing.
