(Excuse me for duplicating. I cannot add a comment to the previous post)

AutoIt can automate WindowsForms. After it's installed, you'll find a help file, that is enough to work with. You can create an EXE file and run it on any machine.

Just launch the app using System.Diagnostics.Process, then use FindWindow to find the application, SetForeGroundWindow to make it the active app then use SendKeys to send keypresses and SendInput for mouse clicks.

If you need send anything that isn't possible via SendKeys or SendInput, you might have to use SendMessage.
