ActiveX component can't create object: 'dmcScripting.Converter'

[Jeff Flowerday]

Error code: 800A01AD


I'm running Vista x64 and I've unregistered the dll and reregistered, still no go.



Any ideas?

I'm running R13 and I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

I quickly installed R13 on my 32 bit vista machine and it works fine there.

Does the scripting not work with WMA files?

get_AudioProperties returns an empty string
get_ReadIDTagElementValue return an empty string for index 0
ReadIDTag return empty element and value for index 0

Or am I missing something?

Do you have the WMA codec installed into dMC?

What language are you using? Have you looked at the code examples?

I've tried both vbscript using ReadIDTagElementValue

For i = 0 To 10000
Dim ElementValue
ElementValue = dMC.ReadIDTagElementValue("C:\Users\FlowerdayJ\Mus ic\Steve Morse\Major Impacts\01 Derailleur.wma", i)
If ElementValue = "" Then Exit For
Call WshShell.Popup(ElementValue, , "Read Tag", 0)
Next


I've also tried C# using ReadIDTag and get the same results.

Nothing ever returns from index 0.

Ok a reboot got it reading the tags on my 32 vista machine. Still need to get it going on my 64 bit vista machine.


Any ideas?

I don't think scripting will work in 64 bit.

I don't think scripting will work in 64 bit.

If you mean DMCScripting, are there any plans to get it working?

Try running your script, but prefacing it with "C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\wscript.exe". That way it uses the 32-bit script engine instead of the 64-bit.

I don't want to use script. I prefer C# and it doesn't work their either.

Re: ActiveX component can't create object: 'dmcScripting.Converter'

Probably because the libraries in the system are 64-bit and want 64-bit objects, but the dMC scripting object is 32-bit and so cannot create it.

I just suggested running with the command-line above to see if the problem was it was wanting a 64-bit COM object.

Re: ActiveX component can't create object: 'dmcScripting.Converter'

The code for scripting is still compiled in VC++ v6, which cannot compile 64 bit.
