Unable to create Browser Object - Server 2003

[MidwayMonster]

Hello,

I am working on a script that automates a process for us. Part of that process is filling out a web based form. Using the IE.au3 UDF this has been working great on my Vista IE 7 system. It has also worked on a few 2003 servers as well.

However on the past couple I get @error 1 General Error: Browser Object Creation Failed.

The systems in question are running Server 2003 SP2 with IE 7.

In my testing I have entered in different websites and removed all options, i even left it all blank once $var = _IECreate()

On the server in the application log I do get a DCOM error stating that the system cannot find the path specified: c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE -Embedding. I did verify that is the proper path to the iexplorer.exe file, however i am not familiar with the -embedding switch.

This appears to be more of a system issue, due to it works on others but I wanted to toss this out there and hopefully someone else has run into this issue.

Here is the begining of the code till where i have the problem.

#include <ie.au3>
$store = "000"
$systag = "1234567890"
$NumPOSTerm = "10"
$email = "me@you.com"
;######################### Open IE window for xxxxx ####################
$oTLoginIE = _IECreate ("http://www.google.com", 0, 1, 1, 1)
$oTLoginIE_Error = @error
If $oTLoginIE_Error > 0 Then
MsgBox(0, "t", "error " & $oTLoginIE_Error)
EndIf

Thanks

Keith

As a side note I am able to open that web page on that system manually.

Thanks again in advance

Try killing all iexplore.exe on thesstem and tryin again (or logoutor reboot). Most often caued by a zombie IE process, if it worked before.
