Cannot Install #4

Closed DarthOpto closed 5 years ago

DarthOpto commented 9 years ago

I am trying to install this on a Windows 8.1 64 bit system. I have AutoIT installed and have registered the AutoItX3 dll files for both the 32 bit and 64 bit dlls. When I try the python setup.py install or the pip installation method, I am getting the following error:

[Error 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 Application pyautoit error

jacexh commented 9 years ago

When I attempt to install to a Linux or OSx environment, I am getting the following error:

Please try 32 bit version of python. autoItx.dll only support for windows, it cannot be installed into Linux/Unix.

jkyeung commented 9 years ago

You included both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the AutoIt DLL, but your test of whether to use the 64-bit version (near the top of autoit.py) is wrong. The PROGRAMFILES environment variable is always C:\Program Files, no matter the bitness of Windows. I don't think it's important to check the bitness of Windows anyway, because you shouldn't ever have a 64-bit Python on a 32-bit Windows. Therefore, once you have determined that you have a 64-bit Python, you might as well just go ahead and use the 64-bit DLL.

The following lines in autoit.py:

if "(x86)" in os.environ['PROGRAMFILES'] and bit == "64bit":
    # if 64bit version of python within 64bit version of Windows,
    # load AutoItX3_x64.dll
    dll = "AutoItX3_x64.dll"

should be

if bit == "64bit":
    # if 64bit version of python, load AutoItX3_x64.dll
    dll = "AutoItX3_x64.dll"

That will at least get the package to import properly. When I tried the simple script in the PyAutoIt README on my 64-bit Python 2.7, the control_click() failed, but that's a separate issue.

I merged this patch, thank you for your feedback.

kotofos commented 8 years ago

Can you please also update pypi package?

jacexh commented 8 years ago

@dsenkyrova AutoIT is Windows-only, so this library will not work on Linux.

Hi,

what is the alternative package/tool for linux? Clearly, pyautoit only works for windows. What about linux user??

Could you please provide some suggestions here.

Hi, Just another confirmation that installing from git with pip works, any chance of this making it into a release and onto pypi?

I also have the same problem in win10 64bit. I remove AutoItX3.dll (win32) and then rename from AutoItX3_x64.dll (64 version) to AutoItX3.dll. then re-install again, is work. But not sure have any risk.
