Zip library as a COM object ?

Post by adroege » Wed Sep 22, 2010 9:54 pm

Has anyone used the Zip library plugin *Inside* of VBScript? Like a COM object?

When I try do do a Set ZipObj = CreateObject("Ziplib")

I get the following error message.

Microsoft VBScript runtime error :429
ActiveX component can't create object 'Ziplib'


I know the "Macro Scheduler" way to call it, I would just prefer to do the
processing inside of VBScript, so that I'm not passing data back and forth
as much.

I have gotten the "DotNetZip" library to work inside of VBScript, but I would prefer to use a 100% MJT solution if possible.

The provided zip library is not a COM object. Just a simple DLL.
