Error -2147024894 when trying to use ActiveX Automation Open

Hello,

I use the Automation Open on an ActiveX Class (which is creatable when I choose it from the list). When I do this I get the error:

Error -2147024894 occurred at The system cannot find the file specified.

Does anyone know what this error means?

Thanks a lot,

Laurent

OK, I reinstalled the software I want to control via the ActiveX controls, and I now get another error message:

Error -2147312566 occurred at Error loading type library/DLL.

It seems that it cannot find the DLL. How can I solve this?

Thanks

Hi Laurent,
 
This is usally caused by registration problems of your activeX server with Windows. This is usally done while you install a ActiveX capable application but it could fail. for more information see the attached Knowledge base. This deals with LabWindows/CVI and MS Excel but this is more a general issue.
 
 
Hope this helps
 
Thanks

Thank you, it works now. I had to change some registry entries which pointed to a wrong folder.
