pywinauto print_control_identifiers() doesn't work

Question

Does anybody know the reason why I can't see full tree for Adobe AIR Setup Installer

My code is: * for unknown reason I can not start app and see it, I need first start it, then check process ID, and after use "connect(process=ID)" or I have this error:

pywinauto.findwindows.ElementNotFoundError: {'best_match': 'AdobeAIRSetup', 'backend': 'uia', 'process': 3480}

#app = Application(backend='uia').start(r'AdobeAIRInstaller.exe')

app = Application().connect(process=9880) 
app.AdobeAIRSetup.print_control_identifiers()

After that I can see result:

Control Identifiers:

ApolloRuntimeContentWindow - 'Adobe AIR Setup' (L1163, T107, R1883, B754) ['ApolloRuntimeContentWindow', 'Adobe AIR SetupApolloRuntimeContentWindow', 'Adobe AIR Setup'] child_window(title="Adobe AIR Setup", class_name="ApolloRuntimeContentWindow")

But there are no "I Agree" and "Cancel" button, that is why I can not click on it !

The solution with "import psutil" will help to obtain PID and send it to connect method!

from pywinauto import Application, Desktop

import psutil


PROCNAME = "Adobe AIR Installer.exe"
app = Application(backend='uia').start(r'AdobeAIRInstaller.exe')
apploaded = False


while apploaded == False:
    for proc in psutil.process_iter():
        if proc.name() == PROCNAME:
            print(proc.pid)
            app = Application(backend='uia').connect(process=proc.pid)
            apploaded = True
