Good day. I've been having some difficulties getting going with AutoItX. What I am trying to do is to use AutoItX within PowerShell to automate some difficult GUI interactions in an application I have. I am not trying to execute AU scripts but rather wish to programmatically call AutoItX function call inside a powershell script. So far all documentation I have found shows the exact same: 1. Register the correct AutoItX DLL (by arch) 2. Create a "New-Object" and 3. Call the method needed. And so far all the code samples I have found look the same,(e.g:This should simply launch an instance of notepad.) <code> $AutoIt = New-Object -ComObject AutoItX3.Control $result = $AutoIt.Run("notepad.exe") </code> The problem is that this ".Control" is not available (though a "Control.Tasksymbol" is seen" So my questions are: 1. How can I determine that the DLL is indeed registered in Windows? 2. What is the correct way to "make available" to powershell, the contained methods of AutoItX ? 3. Should/ should not ".Control" show up in the intellisense/autocomplete? Thanks! M.
