Hi, desperate for help here....
I have develop a .net assembly that is supposed to run in IE, to allow
SharePoint to call Microsoft Office Document Imaging up to edit some tiff
files.
On development machine, I manage to get this to work, with the assembly
registered in IE as ActiveX, as shown on the Internet Option > Programs >
Manage Add-ons...
I thought I just use regasm to register the assembly, and deploy it to GAC,
and it would work, but on my staging environment, I couldn't get it to
register and show up in the Manage Add-on list... What am I supposed to do
to get it registered?
Thanks!

Hello,

If you didn't register it in IE add-ons (Only registered with regasm.exe),
would it not work in your target computer?

Hello,

Have the assembly been strong named and placed in the global assembly cache
on the staging? Also, you can test some VBScript code on it like:

set obj=createobject("MyLibrary.MyClass")

Can the object been created in this way?

Hello,

Is there any progress on this issue? Can you try to create the object with
simple VBScript? If even this didn't work, it should a registry issue, and
we may check if it is registered correctly.

This is the html i created to test, just for you to verify..
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:test()">Javascrpit Test</a>
</body>
</html>

<script language="VBScript">
function test()
{
set obj = createobject("Commerce.SharePoint.ActiveX.DocumentImaging")
alert(obj);
alert("testing");
}
</Script>

IE says error, object expected, line: 1 char: 1

The error may be caused by mixed vbscript and javascript, how about
following code:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:test();">Javascrpit Test</a>
</body>
</html>

<script language="VBScript">

sub test()

set obj = createobject("Commerce.SharePoint.ActiveX.DocumentImaging")
msgbox obj

End Sub
</Script>

You may try above HTM page on both of the two computers, can you get same
result?

Hi Luke,
I seem to be able to create the object if i put
Commerce.SharePoint.ActiveX.DocumentImaging.1

Attached is my code...
[ProgId("Commerce.SharePoint.ActiveX.DocumentImaging.1"),
Guid("1F41AD45-F8C9-45d4-A925-961FB766ED2E"),
ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)]

public class DocumentImaging: IObjectSafety, IDocumentImaging

Then, can you find the "Commerce.SharePoint.ActiveX.DocumentImaging.1" in
the add-on list on the target server? It will be added once it is loaded in
IE.

Regards?

Can this component ("Commerce.SharePoint.ActiveX.DocumentImaging.1") work
on your SPS page now? If not, what is the error it reported?

We have try to create the object in a HTML page:

<script language="VBScript">

sub test()

set obj = createobject("Commerce.SharePoint.ActiveX.DocumentImaging")
msgbox obj

End Sub
</Script>

If we change the code like:

set obj = createobject("Commerce.SharePoint.ActiveX.DocumentImaging")
msgbox obj.SomeProperty

SomeProperty should be some static property of
"Commerce.SharePoint.ActiveX.DocumentImaging", can it display correct value
for the property?

Got more info.
the error occurs when ActiveObject(varEditor + ".2");
The error description is Automation server can't create object.

But the test html works fine on the same machine.
This is a sharepoint script, which I can't modify. How do I go about solving
this? what is the missing step in my activex registration?

Hello,

".2" is a version information for the ActiveX component, have you tried
same string (with ".2") in the HTML file and got same result?
