[RESOLVED] Create object error

[wes4dbt]

I moved my project from a Vista Machine to a XP machine. This code has been running fine.

Now I'm getiing an error "ActiveX component can't create object" on this line

Dim vecImage As WIA.Vector
    Dim ipStamp As WIA.ImageProcess
    Dim lngPixel As Long
     
    'Load icon ResIndex into Vector.
    Set vecImage = New WIA.Vector  <--- ERROR HAPPENS HERE

The reference to "Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition Library v2.0" is set and seems fine.

Any ideas? I must be missing something.

Thanks for any help

On my Vista machine, in the IDE, under Components, it has "Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition Library v2.0" as a choice.

On my XP machine, in the IDE, under Components it DOESN'T have "Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition Library v2.0" as a choice. It is listed in the References.

Could this be the problem?

Thanks

Try checking the references and component objects path as it may have been different on the Vista system.

You need to register the ActiveX on the new machine. Run the regsvr32 from the command prompt followed by the ActiveX name from the directory where the ActiveX exists.

if it wasn't registered, it wouldn't be listed in the components or references...

But, I have to wonder why in one place it's under Components (which are usually controls or other componets that are dropped onto a form) in one place, and under References (which are typically non-ui type references, dlls and the like) in another...

Thanks for the replys,

I could not register or unregister the "wiaaut.dll" , I keep getting a file not found error. So, I downloaded an older 2002 version of wiaaut.dll. It came with a .chi and .chm file that had to be put in the windows\help folder. Then the dll registered without a problem and the app works fine.

Thanks again
