CreateObject returns permission denied

[hat77]

Hi,

I get a permission denied error message when trying to 'CreateObject' of type "QuickTest.Application" (using VBscript).

A portion of the problem has been solved by this thread: thread333-1146373.

This is my first time logging into this site, so please be patient if I am not familiar with the proper posting/referencing procedures.

Regards

How about posting the code you are having problems with.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Hi,

I have a VBScript file (named call_qtp.vbs)...below you will find the contents of the file.

I am executing this file on a machine named "DLAT". Once executed, this script is supposed to launch an application, known as QuickTest, on a remote machine named "GWXP"; thus the name mentioned within the script.

If I understand correctly (from the documentation the QuickTest people provided), I should be able to launch this application from a remote machine, (in this case "DLAT"), even if I don't have it installed on "DLAT". In fact, their documentation states that I should be able to run the application remotely, but fails to mention if that calling machine (in this case "DLAT") has to have the application installed itself. Probably I have to have it installed...don't know...probably will try this.

-----------------------------------------
--Start of file
-----------------------------------------
Dim qtApp
Set qtApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application","GWXP")
qtApp.Launch
qtApp.Visible = True
-----------------------------------------
--End of file
-----------------------------------------

When I execute this file, I get the following error message:


-----------------------------------------
--Error message
-----------------------------------------
...
Error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'QuickTest.Application'
Code: 800A01AD
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error

By the way, I have setup the proper DCOM permissions on "GWXP" to allow remote users (within the same domain) to execute the QuickTest application and all of its necessary components. I used the following reference to do most of this work: thread333-1146373

Thanks for your time!

Unless the application can install itself remotely OR uses WMI I can't see how it would work remotely unless it was installed on the remote machine. Likewise I can't see how it could be created unless it was installed locally as well.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Mark,

Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it. I am going to install the application on "DLAT" and then try the script again. For the long term, this is not the solution I am looking for.

Best Regards
