Hi there, 

I have installed pywin32 in my pc. And i wrote this code

>>> import win32com.client
>>> autoit = win32com.client.Dispatch("AutoItX3.Control")
>>> autoit.Run("calc.exe")
But it is showing this error message.
 
"Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    autoit.Run("calc.exe")"
Please help. Complete error message is in an image with this post. Please see attachment

Use AutoIt as intended. NOT in Python.

Seriously Bert?

@kcvinu

Try to use unicode strings:

autoit.Run(u"calc.exe")

You may need the full path though ;).

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Hi 

SmOke_N

Thanks.  Let me try.

I am afraid, most of the AutItX3 functions are not listed in the intellisense of python shell.

Hi 

SmOke_N, i tried that but not installing. First of all there is no exe file for it. We need to manually type code in cmd. It says that it can;t find a directory named pyAutoit. I dropped that idea and started with pywin32.
