Error 429 : ActiveX component can't create object
I'm getting an Error 429 : ActiveX component can't create object when trying
to run a program that ran perfectly fine on Windows XP. It was created in VB6
but does not run on my version of Vista Business. Anyone have any ideas as to
why this may not work. We are desperate...it is a buisiness application that
our customers cannot run!

The particular activex object may not be registered on your system, so you
may need to install it.
Otherwise try running the program elevated.

Re: Error 429 : ActiveX component can't create object
Brad Hi,
We also have a complex VB6 financial app which, when we installed on Vista
32 - runs with no problems.
Are you using the Microsoft Best Practices - for instance, if the app tries
to write anything to Program Files on the target computer where the user is
not an ADMIN, you can get funny messages. Perhaps the DLL is not registered
properly..
Perhaps the DLL should be in Program Files\Common Files\Company
Name\DLLName.dll and not %System32%.
Perhaps you should have a VISTA machine with VB6 installed as your test
developement environment. See if the error happens there within the
development environment.
WE use VMWare very successfully for this kind of problem. You can install a
Vista VM under XP but, I am not sure if the environment is really identical
to a real time Vista installation.
Consider also testing the APP on Vista 64 bit. This is the future so get
used to it.
Garry

Or, even worse, the app is trying to write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - that is
*very* tricky with Vista, and actively discouraged by Microsoft...

I use VirtualPC for the same thing - it's certainly close enough to the real
thing for testing purposes...

Re: Error 429 : ActiveX component can't create object
Garry,
We tried to regsvr32 the file: documark_bsl.dll under the c:\Program
Files\Midmark\Documark directory.
We are getting an error though when completing the previously stated
procedure.
The module "documark_bsl.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer
failed with error code 0x80004005.
For more information about this problem, search online using the error code
as a search item.

Re: Error 429 : ActiveX component can't create object
Brad,
Try registering the component from an elevated Command Prompt window. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

Re: Error 429 : ActiveX component can't create object
Ramesh,
We did run a regsvr32 in the elevated Command Prompt window, but we still
recieve an error 429 - ActiveX component can't create object when we start
the application. Just wondering if you have any suggestions on what to do at
this point. Thanks.

Re: Error 429 : ActiveX component can't create object
Brad,
Did you get any errors when registering the module? It appears that the registration was not successful. Check if the ProgID that you're initializing in your program is listed in the registry.

Re: Error 429 : ActiveX component can't create object
Also sure that you're registering the correct dll ie make sure that that is
definitely the component that is causing the error. It may be another.
Go back to the source code, if you have it, and look for statements
containing 'CreateObject'. Then find the file associated with the ProgID eg
via the registry.
