AutoIt Script using Nunit

Question

While running my script through Visual Studio (Selenium-C#), my AutoIt script for opening dialogs works perfectly, but when running the same script from the Nunit(.Net) client, the same tests are being failed getting the following error:

ReportAppeal.MainTestRunner.OpenFile("Email"):
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException : Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {1A671297-FA74-4422-80FA-6C5D8CE4DE04} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)).

Anything I'm doing wrong?

Okay the solution was:

Open up regedit*32 (c:\windows\syswow64\regedit)
Search for AutoItX in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID
I found it in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID{6E8109C4-F369-415D-AF9A-2AEEFF313234}
Create a blank REG_SZ (String) entry called DllSurrogate

For some reason, this completely solved the issue. Worked in Windows 7 - 64bit
