After running my project multiple times I get the error: Could not resolve COM reference "f8937e53-d444-4e71-9275-35b64210cc3b", what is it?
This is a complete error:
Error 1 Could not resolve COM reference "f8937e53-d444-4e71-9275-35b64210cc3b" version 1.0. The specified image file did not contain a resource section. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070714) UsingAutoIt
Never before google found anything with this link long number and letters.
This is my complete form1 code not that long. Maybe DllImport is causing the problem? But this was not the case before. Strange mistake.

But for this I had to first register with regsrv32 only after registering, I could add the dll file as a reference.
This is fine, Visual Studio stores the type library guide in the project file. A type library is a description of the types exported by a COM component. Very similar to metadata in a .NET assembly. Finding the library back from the file "f8937e53-d444-4e71-9275-35b64210cc3b" in the project file requires Visual Studio to look at the HKCR \ TypeLib registry key. It will not be present until the COM component is registered. Yes, Regsvr32.exe is generally better to use the component installer.
I had to change the Embed Interop Types property to false
This is because you used AutoItX3Lib.AutoItX3Class
in your original code. It is a synthetic class that is generated from a type library, making COM components that implement multiple interfaces a little easier to use. However, such a synthetic class cannot be inlined, so you had to set the property to false. A simple workaround for this is to omit the "class" from the type name, so you only use the interface. Fix:
static AutoItX3Lib.AutoItX3 au3;
....
au3 = new AutoItX3Lib.AutoItX3();
