Just downloaded and installed autoit3 on Windows 7 64-bit. I wrote a "hello.au3" which runs fine. But when I tried windows script host: 
 
set oautoit=wscript.createobject("autoitx3.control") 
 
 
I get an error message that the control cannot be created. 
I also successfully did regsvr32 c:\program files (x86)\autoit3\autoitx\autoitx3.dll which didn't fix the error message. 
I also reinstalled autoit, and did not check the box that says "use native x64 tools where possible". 
 
Still not able to write a .vbs with the above line that executes without error. 
 
Any suggestions? 
 
Thanks.
