Patrick Neve  commented on WTR-440:
-----------------------------------

At least the newer AutoItX3.dll gives functionality now that is at least 
problematic if not impossible.  Mouse movement,  mouse down, mouse up, etc.  
Haven't been able to get them to work consistently any other way ( what works 
on IE7 doesn't on IE6, etc. not to mention firefox)  

Perhaps make a note in install documentation that upgrading to current AutoIt 
is an option if things like closing popups, manipulating the mouse, etc. are 
giving problems.

> The AutoIt v3 ActiveX Control library (AutoItX3.dll) bundled with Watir1.6.5 
> is a very old version, (version 3.1.1.0), built back in 2005.
> As of 6/1/2010 the version of the library that is distributed with AutoIt's 
> installer is version 3.3.6.1. It contains many improvements, fixes and new 
> commands, functions and features, that could be useful with Watir if it were 
> included, instead of the down-rev version that is currently bundled with 
> Watir.
> See AutoIt's change log for details on the changes (from 3.1.1.0 to the 
> current version):
>   http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/history.htm
> The current AutoItX3 installer is available as a free download at:
>  http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/index.shtml
> There is also a 64-bit version of the library (AutoITX3_x64.dll) that might 
> be of use to install with Watir on 64-bit systems.
