title: Python and PyWinAuto version installation on Windows
body: <p>I am confused about the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>My OS is windows 7 64 bit, the application that I am trying to automate using python is a 32 bit application. Now should I install Python 64 bit or 32 bit? </p></li>
  <li><p>My application is a windows application(not web), so I am trying to install the PyWinAuto. PyWinAuto Installation document in silent mode says "(Python 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5)". So this means PyWinAuto is supported only till Python version 3.5?  </p></li>
  <li><p>I then installed Python 3.5.3 (64 bit), installed PyWinAuto using the silent installation command (pip install pywinauto), but when I tried to check if I have installed correctly by starting notepad.exe as explained in the document, the notepad just opened and vanished in a second.   </p></li>
  <li><p>I want to able to perform commands on my application's wpf controls using automation id's which I am able to fetch using the inspect tool. So is this possible using PyWinAuto? I looked into the controls but most are related to the control of objects using coordinates etc. If I have object id, can I use it in all the control functions available?</p></li>
  </ol>
