I don't plan any AutoItLibrary support for Windows Vista since Microsoft has 
moved on
from that version.  I do hope that the next release will support both Windows 7 
and
Python 2.6.

Actually, I was able to get it to install on Vista by running the command 
window as
administrator before doing Step 5 outlined in the original post.  This allows 
it to
register the AutoItX3.dll successfully. You may want to make a note of that in 
your
installation documentation.

Cheers,
Aaron

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll update the documentation in the next release.

release.

Thanks much. I too faced with the same issue, I tried install in windows as 
admin user, but still had to elevate the permission for cmd prompt, able to 
install now.
