Error 3005 occurred at Automation Open

[Elfernro]

Hello,

I am having trouble using the drivers in ActiveX. I have installed them correctly, and when I click on "Select ActiveX Class," they appear selected. However, when I open Automation Open, I always get error "Error 3005 occured at automation open.  Object specified is not creatable in XXX.vi" 

Could you please help me?

Mind to share your code?

We need to see your LabVIEW code (preferably in an "older" version of LabVIEW, such as LabVIEW 2019 or 2021, or at least a snippet (do you know how to create LabVIEW Snippets?).  Why are you using ActiveX, anyway?

There can be multiple reasons for this.

It could be that you're using 64 bit LabVIEW with 32 bit ActiveX code.

It could be that you're trying to create an object that should only be created indirectly (i.e. don't create object A, create object B and then get object A from a property or method from object B).

It could be that the installation of the ActiveX component in question was corrupted and you need to reinstall it.

But in general, you haven't provided a lot of information.  No code, no explanation of what "the drivers" are used for, no details on your OS, LabVIEW version, and so on.

Thanks everyone. I’ve already solved it. In case it helps someone, I simply recreated again the Property Nodes and the “Automation Node” (I’m not sure if the subVI was corrupted because it was old), and when selecting the ActiveX class again I enabled the “Show Creatable Objects Only” checkbox.

Thanks again to everyone for your help and your time.
