Hi everyone,

In RIDE's menu options, there's a "View RIDE Log" option that should show you a stack trace from the import failure.

Hi Kisel,

I have selected "View RIDE Log" in RIDE's menu with content bellow:

I think I have installed correctly by the way:  I open cmd, cd to folder "C:\AutoItLibrary-1.1", then I type & enter the command "python setup.py install".
The installation successful without any error, but when I import "AutoITLibrary" in my test suite, it turn red, you see the warning above.

I have tried some way install:
use pip: pip install robotframework-autoitlibrary

Please help, I don't know how to solve this issue.
Thanks you!

I’m guessing that you’re on Windows 7 or 8 and that for some reason the UAC prompt during the AutoIt install either didn’t work, or was not allowed. Open a CMD window as Admin and run the AutoIt “python setup.py install” again from that elevated permissions window.

 

Cheers,

Martin

Hi Kisel & Martin,

I found the issue that AutoITLibrary can run on my machine,
Because I using win 7 x64, then that package can install, but can't run. I found a version of AutoITLibrary x64 for win7 on China site.
If you install by this package, you can import AutoItlibrary in RIDE an run your suite.

Here I attach file for anyone have a problem like me :D

Thanks and Regards,
Phuoc Ha.

Hi Reema,

I guess that you are using window x68,
for the windows x64, please download my attached file at the comment above and try install by this way:
1. Extract file
2. Open command line by admin role, then goes to this folder extracted
3. Type this command to install: python setup.py install

For the window x86, you need download AutoITLibrary x86 and do the similar command to install.

Cheer,
