Hi, Everybody...
I have two computers. Same operating systems (Windows 7). Same browser versions (Internet Explorer 11). Same ActiveX setup wizard. Same Test ActiveX controls HTML file.
Execution of the Test ActiveX controls HTML file on one machine produces the desired results. Execution of the Test ActiveX controls HTML file on the other machine produces the following error message: Automation Server Can't Create
Object.
I have Googled "Automation Server Can't Create Object"... There's almost a quarter of a million results. I have tried MANY suggestions, but they do not resolve my issue. I feel like I am shooting in the dark.
Is there a way to know WHAT is the root cause?... Is it browser settings?... Is it Windows settings?... Is it some other settings?... How/where can I extract more details about my error? I need to know WHY can't the Automation
Server create object? WHY does it work on one machine and WHY not the other?
The error is thrown precisely where the ActiveX Control is instantiated. FWIW, see code below.
