Link to issue number:
Split from #9968
Fixes #10300
Summary of the issue:
In Windows XP and possibly older versions of Vista, UIA was not always available. Therefore,, the UIAHandler contained logic to deal with UIA not available.
Description of how this pull request fixes the issue:
UIAHandler.isUIAAvailable has been removed, since it was always True, i.e. it depended on the comtypes wrapper being available. We only imported the contents of the comtypes wrapper when UIAHandler.isUIAAvailable was True. Code that used UIAHandler.isUIAAvailable now uses uiaHandler.handler or simply assumes that UIA is always there.
This is a necessary change for #9968, as Sphinx won't run otherwise.
More importantly though, while disabling UIA on ALPHA seemed to fail on my system, it no longer does now.
Testing performed:
Tested running from source, with UIA enabled and disabled from config.
Known issues with pull request:
