If "RuntimeError: Can not get an instance of IUIAutomation" occured when running uiautomation.py, You need to install update KB971513 for your Windows. You can also download from here https://github.com/yinkaisheng/WindowsUpdateKB971513ForIUIAutomation
Another UI tool inspectX86.exe or inspectX64.exe supplied by Microsoft can also be used to see the UI elements.
Inspect (Inspect.exe) is a Windows-based tool that enables you select any UI element and view the element's accessibility data. You can view Microsoft UI Automation properties and control patterns, as well as Microsoft Active Accessibility properties. Inspect also enables you to test the navigational structure of the automation elements in the UI Automation tree, and the accessible objects in the Microsoft Active Accessibility hierarchy.
Inspect is installed with the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 8. (It is also available in previous versions of Windows SDK.) It is located in the \bin<platform> folder of the SDK installation path (Inspect.exe).
