Jarmo Pertman commented on WTR-440:
-----------------------------------
Bret, yes. That's because Watir will register AutoIt with regsvr32.exe only if
loading AutoIt fails. So if AutoIt is installed already or some older version
of Watir is installed, then newer version of AutoIt won't be registered.
If you have any good ideas how to communicate that in addition to this JIRA
ticket then do it by all means.

> The AutoIt v3 ActiveX Control library (AutoItX3.dll) bundled with Watir1.6.5

> As of 6/1/2010 the version of the library that is distributed with AutoIt's

> 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.
