AutoItX usage

[amokoura 1]

I'm about to use AutoItX with a .NET project and wondering how to include AutoIt with it.

What do you think is the best way to have the AutoIt component in the client machine?:

1. COM, registered

2. COM, unregistered

3. DLL with a wrapper class

Option 1. feels the easiest and quickiest but raises couple questions:

- When to unregister if there are multiple apps using the component?

- What if I want to update AutoItX on the client and the apps aren't compatible with the new version?

- Is this the DLL HELL!!??

Here was some discussion about it also:

Any opinions, hints? Please share.
