check to figure out what is going on? I have now tried to register the DLL using regsvr32.exe /i bob.dll as suggested but I get this error: The Module "Bob.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that "Bob.dll" is valid DLL or OCX file and then try again. I should note that this is a 32-bit application on a 64-bit machine at this point. It also works fine on my machine which is Windows XP 32-bit. dll vbscript activex windows-server-2008 dllregistration share|improve this question edited Oct 19 '12 at 12:43 bluish 9,3491269126 asked Mar 18 '09 at 4:09 GordyII 2,439123662 A quickie...

Run RegAsm.exe to register the DLLs. Run the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe to run my VBScript. Thanks for all your help. ALSO if these don't work, check out the other answer here about enabling 32-bit applications. share|improve this an

YouHadMeAtHelloWorldDecember 12, 200710 0 0 0 I had two posts to resolve an issue with applications that use a 32-bit COM object in a 64-bit OS. Workaround for executable, https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/helloworld/2007/12/12/activex-component-cant-create-object-when-creating-a-32-com-object-in-a-64-bit-machine/ and ASP.Net. I recently helped someone who had the same problem, but with a http://www.chilkatforum.com/questions/5766/error-429-activex-component-cannot-create-object VB Script application, executed with cscript.exe. This VB script application uses a 32-bit COM object and failed to run on a 64-bit OS. The error, Microsoft VBScript runtime error: ActiveX component can't create object: ‘XXXXXX'. To fix the issue, the script must be executed with the right executable. There are two cscript.exe in the 64-bit OSes. activex component One is located at %WINDOWS%\System32, and the second one is located at %WINDOWS%\SysWOW64. The one under System32, is a 64-bit version. The one under SysWOW64 is the 32-bit version. Run the VBS application using the 32-bit application. Why System32 contains 64-bit binaries, and SysWOW64 contains 32-bit is another story, but there is a very good reason behind it, backward compatibility. 🙂

I have an additional question. If you run the script from a 32-bit 2003 server and it has to interact with a DC that is on a 2008 server what do you need to do to get it to work then?

I guess you somehow have to point it to the %WINDOWS%SysWOW64 catalogue in thcreate object. 429 create cannot activex object asked Jun 18 '14 at 10:51 chilkat ♦♦ 11.5k●316●358●417 One Answer: oldestnewestmost voted 2 ActiveX DLL registration and object instantiation problems never end. People have been having problems with ActiveX registration and object instantiation for over 10 years, and I expect that this will continue forever. The problems are not specific to Chilkat ActiveX's. Skilled and competent people have trouble with ActiveX's in general. First.. Chilkat ActiveX's are completely standard, plain-vanilla, nothing-special-about-them, typical self-registering ActiveX DLLs, so any trouble you may have with the Chilkat ActiveX is likely to be the same for any other ActiveX. Successfully registering an ActiveX DLL and using it is simply a matter of following instructions carefully and getting things right. Microsoft has created innumerable pitfalls to make this as painful as possible, with the pain increasing as each year progresses. All of this pain and suffering is the result of wanting to accomplish one simple thing at application runtime: Your program will instantiate an instance of an object (that is contained within an ActiveX DLL), and it will instantiate it using a name, such as "CompanyAbc.Widget". Whatever programming language you are using, and whatever the syntax may be, it boils down to this: Using the name to find the path to the ActiveX DLL file. Loading it and dynamically linking it into your application's address space. To find the location of the ActiveX DLL, the CreateObject statement (or whatever it may be in your programming language) looks in the Window Registry to find the entry by name, such as for "CompanyAbc.Widget". The registry entry will contain the path to the DLL. That's step #1 -- to get the path to the DLL. This is the main goal of registering the ActiveX DLL via regsvr32. The potential pitfalls in this step are: Do you have permission to write to the registry? If it is 64-bit Windows, you mus
