Unable to use AutoItX with Python on Win7x64

[grafikm]

Hy!

I'm trying to use AutoItX on Windows 7 x64, with Python 2.6 (I need this version) but it won't work. It keep giving me this message :

File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 84, in _GetGoodDispatch
    IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(IDispatch, None, clsctx, pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221164, 'Class not registered', None, None)

The first lines of my .py file are :

from win32com.client import Dispatch
Auto = Dispatch("AutoItX3.Control")

Thanks for your help

You probably should register the server first for your system. I don't know how's that done with python but with dumber scripting languages it's usually done by running regsvr32.exe.

Thanks trancexx! You were right.

To register the COM interface you simply need to do this :

• Open a command prompt window (cmd) as an administrator
• Go to AutoItX directory (default on Windows 7 : cd C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\AutoItX\)
• Type these two commands :

• regsvr32.exe AutoItX3.dll
• regsvr32.exe AutoItX3_x64.dll

Il suffit d'enregistrer l'interface COM de cette manière :

• Ouvrir une fenêtre d'invite de commande (cmd) en mode administrateur
• Accéder au répertoire de AutoItX (par défaut sur Windows 7 : cd C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\AutoItX\)
• Saisir ces deux commandes:

• regsvr32.exe AutoItX3.dll
• regsvr32.exe AutoItX3_x64.dll

This may sound stupid but... where is the « SOLVED » button on this forum?

There is no solved button. You just have to edit the first post in the thread and change the title.

I would like to, but there's no EDIT button.
