I have simple com dll using c++(using ATL). The dll is already registered in the system as i can i can find it when i search for the GUID and able to access it from another c++ program. But the problem is I am unable to access the dll using vbscript.
Its always showing the error "ActiveX cant create object". I have kept the object format as projectname.classname. Can anybody provide me the solution to it? Is there any way i can find the ProgID of the dll so that i can create the dll object?

I guess you may use the "ProgIDFromCLSID function"[^] function.

Solution 2

Is your com dll 32-bit ?
Is your OS 64-bit ?
If so, you cannot (easily) use a 32-bit dll from a 64-bit app
Try running the vbs as 32-bit and see if it works

Something like:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wscript.exe c:\test.vbs
