429 error: ActiveX component can't create object

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Thanks for the information.  I believe the scripting runtimes are one of those files that MS says not to redistribute in the installer because they are OS specific and are supposed to already exist on any target system... but they can and do get messed up by other software having installers that do not obey this rule.  It is good to know how this can affect Aurora and what the solution is.

	Hooray! I found the problem. Found the solution at http://www.blogsire.com/SBizzTech/blog-doc/runtime-error-429-activex-component-cant-create-object/ and used the command Regsvr32.exe C:\windows\system32\Scrrun.dll at the run window. Then clicked on the Scheduler... no error message and then the calendar appeared. Lights-On-Logan, thanks so much for all of your help. Steve

	Hooray!!! I found it! It seems that SCRRUN.DLL was not registered. I found this inofrmation at http://www.blogsire.com/SBizzTech/blog-doc/runtime-error-429-activex-component-cant-create-object/ . I looked for and found the file in the system32 folder and entered the command Regsvr32.exe C:\windows\system32\Scrrun.dll at the run window. Lights-On -Logan, thanks for all of your help and hanging in there with this problem. Steve

	There is no file with the name borealis.dat. I've tried removing and reinstalling the Aurora program and I still have the same problem. 429: ActiveX component can't create object Aurora.Scheduler.Initialize.0 Aurora.Scheduler.Initialize.1

	If you have a file "borealis.dat" in your Aurora Sequencer directory you can try deleting it just in case it is corrupted.

	Oh yes, I also down,oaded and installed the MSCOMCTL2.ocx before the upgrade and it made no difference. Steve

	Well, downloaded the newest version and now I get the Borealis Aurora Scheduler splash screen just before the 429 error. Looks like we're moving it closer to the end. Steve

	Thanks for the help but the install above did not fix the problem. Is there anything else that may help solve this problem? thanks Steve

	The only dependancy the scheduler has which the sequencer doesn't is MSCOMCTL2.ocx. You can get this file from MS at this address: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297381 (after downloading you will need to right click on the INF file and choose "Install"). Let me know if it helps or not.
