Problems registering OCX for Macroscheduler SDK

[djDeeJay_dot_com]

Hello,
i downloaded Macroscheduler SDK and unzipped into the installdir of MAchroscheduler 12

Following the macro_script.pdf i copied the mScript.dll and mScript.ocx
to teh windows sytem dir:

C:\Windows\System32>dir mScript*
Datenträger in Laufwerk C: ist ACER
Volumeseriennummer: 8A62-860C

Verzeichnis von C:\Windows\System32

25.08.2010 20:11 994.608 mscript.dll
25.08.2010 20:11 673.016 mscript.ocx
2 Datei(en), 1.667.624 Bytes
0 Verzeichnis(se), 353.923.112.960 Bytes frei

the i runned

C:\Windows\System32>regsvr32 mscript.ocx

i get the following error( i translated this because i get the error in german so it might be not be identical to the original english version)
error loading mscript.ocx
ensure the file is saved in the given path, or debug the file to exclude problems with the binary or depending dll files
The modul was not found

i checked also the path:
C:\Windows\System32>path
PATH=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32
\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\EgisTec\MyWinLocker 3\x86;C:\Pro
gram Files (x86)\EgisTec\MyWinLocker 3\x64

and windows sytem is in there

i am driving version:

C:\Windows\System32>ver

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

Regards
dj

I unpacked the sdk again under my user\documents folder
and started
C:\Windows\System32>regsvr32 mscript.ocx from cmd-shell
got an error 0x800040005

I searched and found that this is miising rights for the registering, so u have to start the cmd shaell with admin rights (right clich on the cmd icon and select run as )
running the command again as admin works fine for that step

missing vb6 on my computer i added the ocx to access 2000 (9.0.44 sr1 ) with Vb 6.5 wich works fine until until runnning the following code:


[code]
Function testmacroscheduler()
Dim ms As MScript.MacroScript
Set ms = CreateObject("MScript.MacroScript")
testmacroscheduler = ms.RunCode("mdl>hello world", "")
ms.Cleanup
End Function

[/code]

and A CALL OF THE FUNCTION testmacroscheduler()

cause access to crash

thats how far i came
good night

I use the DLL version and it works great.
Also - Then you dont have to think about registration at the client machines

Hi,

There are some fine examples in marcus helpfile
I use PowerBuilder Enterprise so it is not the same syntax.

The DLL needs to be in the same location as your binary. I think you have put it in the Windows System folder which will not work. You need mscript.dll in the same folder as your application's executable.

[Marcus Tettmar]

So for MS Access you need to put a copy of mscript.dll in the same folder as msaccess.exe - in the Access Program folder (e.g. c:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office12)

Then, assuming you have registered the ocx you can use the following code format in an Access module:

Code: Select all

Sub SDKTest()

  Dim mscript
  Dim s
  
  Set mscript = CreateObject("Mscript.MacroScript")

  mscript.script = "MessageModal>hello"
  mscript.init
  s = mscript.Run
  mscript.cleanup

End Sub

Hi marcus,
done as u said, dll is in the:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10 folder

the ocx is there also but because i regsitered it earlyer Acces has its path to the user homem where i putted it first

running the exaple (step by step with F8) brings a cannot load mscript.dll error in line

[code]
mscript.Script = "MessageModal>hello"
[/code]

and after any following action (break or next step) the following crash:

If you're getting "cannot load mscript.dll" then mscript.dll is in the wrong location.
