Installed ActivePython, Robot Framework and AutoItLibrary on a virtual machine with Windows 7 Ult x32. (See related bug on PIL installation problem). Tried to run the Calculator tests and got this:

Error in file 'C:\RobotFramework\Extensions\AutoItLibrary\tests\Calculator_Test_Cases.html' in table 'Setting' in element on row 5: Creating an instance of the test library 'AutoItLibrary' with arguments 'C:\RobotFramework\Extensions\AutoItLibrary\tests\results', '10' and 'True' failed: com_error: (-2147221005, 'Invalid class string', None, None) Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\robot\running\testlibraries.py", line 150, in _get_instance return self._libcode(*self.args) File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\AutoItLibrary__init__.py", line 76, in init self._AutoIt = win32com.client.Dispatch("AutoItX3.Control") File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client__init__.py", line 95, in Dispatch dispatch, userName = dynamic._GetGoodDispatchAndUserName(dispatch,userName,clsctx) File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 98, in _GetGoodDispatchAndUserName return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName) File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 78, in _GetGoodDispatch IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(IDispatch, None, clsctx, pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)

My guess is that the win32com library is missing something that allows it to work correctly in Windows 7.

The Python installed was ActivePython 2.5.1.1. Perhaps an upgrade to 2.6 might fix this?

AutoItLibrary version 1.1, and the Calculator tests that it includes, now work on Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows 7.
