Create Object help

[Zooby12]

I'm unsure as to how to create an object properly. I keep on getting the error code 800A01AD - ActiveX component can't create object. I don't know if this is because of my script or my computer setup. I'm on Windows 7 x64.

Hi,

What kind of object do you want to create?

...and what code are you using to create it?

Sorry, I have no clue when it comes to objects. I'm trying to pass a macro onto this browser plugin called iMacros, and the example script they provided created the object this way. However, it does not work for me.

Option Explicit
Dim iim1,iret
Set iim1 = CreateObject("imacros")
iret = iim1.iimInit("",FALSE) 'connect to open iMacros browser window 

Dim counter,counter2
counter = 1 
counter2 = 1
Dim macro

Do While Not (iret < 0)
If (counter < 31) Then
	macro = "CODE:" 'This is where the macro is defined, I didn't put it in here for now.
	counter2 = counter2 + 1
End If

iim1.iimSet "counter", counter
iret = iim1.iimPlay(macro)
counter = counter + 1

Loop

Sorry, irrelevant to the point but this is the real code (accidentally omitted the elseif).

Option Explicit
Dim iim1,iret
Set iim1 = CreateObject("imacros")
iret = iim1.iimInit("",FALSE) 'connect to open iMacros browser window 

Dim counter,counter2
counter = 1 
counter2 = 1
Dim macro

Do While Not (iret < 0)
If (counter < 31) Then
	macro = "CODE:" 'This is where the macro is defined, I didn't put it in here for now.
ElseIf (counter = 31) Then
	macro = "CODE:"
	counter2 = counter2 + 1
End If

iim1.iimSet "counter", counter
iret = iim1.iimPlay(macro)
counter = counter + 1

Loop

You need to run the script with the 32-bit version of cscript or wscript, which is found in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 by default.

I have seen someone try that and it worked for them; for some reason, however, when I just tried it I still get the error. I'm not sure why.

Do I have to register some dll's or something, mayhaps?

You may do. I think most of us were working on the assumption that iMacros was part of a software package that had been installed on your PC. It certainly isn't anything to do with Microsoft. So if you haven't installed iMacros ( which would normally include registering the relevant DLLs) then no, it won't work until you do ...
