AutoItLibrary will not launch in Windows 7 Ult x32

[Google Code Exporter]

Installed ActivePython, Robot Framework and AutoItLibrary on a virtual
machine with Windows 7 Ult x32. (See related bug on PIL installation
problem).  Tried to run the Calculator tests and got this:

Error in file
'C:\RobotFramework\Extensions\AutoItLibrary\tests\Calculator_Test_Cases.html'
in table 'Setting' in element on row 5: Creating an instance of the test
library 'AutoItLibrary' with arguments
'C:\RobotFramework\Extensions\AutoItLibrary\tests\results', '10' and 'True'
failed: com_error: (-2147221005, 'Invalid class string', None, None)
Traceback (most recent call last):

in __init__
   self._AutoIt     = win32com.client.Dispatch("AutoItX3.Control")
 File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 95,
in Dispatch
   dispatch, userName =
dynamic._GetGoodDispatchAndUserName(dispatch,userName,clsctx)
 File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 98,
in _GetGoodDispatchAndUserName
   return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName)
 File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 78,
in _GetGoodDispatch
   IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(IDispatch, None, clsctx,
pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)

My guess is that the win32com library is missing something that allows it
to work correctly in Windows 7.

The Python installed was ActivePython 2.5.1.1.  Perhaps an upgrade to 2.6 might 
fix this?

AutoItLibrary version 1.1, and the Calculator tests that it includes, now work 
on
Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows 7.
