ActiveX component can't create object: 'Excel.application' - RGummadidala - 01-29-2011

Hello All,

I'm a newbie in QTP and scripting. After looking at some examples over internet in accessing excel through VBscript, I started writing code like below

Code:
CreateObject("Excel.Application")

but ended up with the error 'ActiveX component can't create object: 'Excel.application'". I know that the issue is with some missing or unregistered dlls in the system, as I was successful in creating InternetExplorer object.

I'm using Windows 7 Home edition and Microsoft Home 2010 edition. Can someone help me to find the correct dll and the process to registe the same.

Thanks

Hi RGummadidala,
The above method is working for me. No issues..
Have you installed Office 2010 as "Click-to-run"?
Please check this link.

Hi Manish,

In my system, I see that Microsoft Office Click-to-Run 2010 is installed (atleast I see that in control panel). Now, I'm not sure what it is? Should there be any other way the objects need to be created, if that is in 'Click-to-run' and more over, how to check if the apps are actually running as 'Click-to-Run'

Thanks

Also, I'm working using the "web" add-in. Do I need to check in the box for "Active-X", for this to work.
