bgaiser Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hey there Folks. We have tons of scripts that are verison 2.x and don't want to go to the new 3.x version yet - but now we need to install on 64-bit windows.... Q: Is there a way to install the 32-bit version of AutoItX on the 64-bit windows? Our invocation is this: Set oAIX = CreateObject("AutoItX.Control") And we get the famous: Active X component can't create object: AutoItX.Control What do we do to make the 32-bit version work on 64-bit windows?

bgaiser Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 It's not offen you get to reply to your own question. I found an answer. The key is to run the VB as the 32-bit version of the VB on the Win 64-bit. This 32-bit VB is here: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\wscript.exe (it could also be in C:\WINNT)... The place that talks about that is here: http://forum.iopus.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2746Thanks to those who read this and THOUGHT about helping. Hey there Folks.

Administrators Jon Posted September 24, 2008 Administrators Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yeah you can't mix 32bit exes and 64bit DLLs (and vice versa). That's why I had to create a 64bit DLL as well.
