We arte experiencing Errors when we run Robotframe work on windows7. The Script 
runs and selenium launches the browser but we do not see our webpage loaded it 
remains in a blank state. We get this Error on RobotFramework.

For some reason win32Gui cannot be found but it is installed.I made my own 
python script to call win32Gui and it runs well. It cannot find it when I use 
Robot.

And we are able to run same setup on XP without the win32gui error. We are only 
getting it on windows 7

This doesn't seem to be a problem in the framework itself but in environment 
configuration. For some reason the library you use doesn't find your win32gui 
module. One reason could be that you are running tests on Jython which doesn't 
support all same modules that Python (basically C-based modules are not 
supported).
