Active X Object not creatable in SOME VIs

[Curran919]

Hello All,

I wasnt to display an .avi in LV. I have quite a large DAQ-oriented file to work it into, but as always I decided to trouble shoot the script in a prototype VI. It worked perfectly the first run, so made some tweeks to give exactly what I want and inserted it into my main VI. Naturally, it didn't work. The error it was delivering was the classic ActiveX #3005 "Object specified is not creatable in _.vi". After a few hours of research, I've only found this error being specific to a single system and not a VI, ie. The target object does not exist on the system. My system obviously CAN create the object...

I tried a few work arounds to get around the prejudice, but couldn't get it to work. I reset the references and rebuilt the code multiple times. Its not only that I can't get the code to work on my main VI, but I also can't get it to not work on the prototype VI. I've also tried all the classic rebooting and whatnot.

XPpro SP2, LV 9.0

Thanks!

Hi,

what ActiveX Object did you use to play the avi file? There are several options you have:

- With the windows media player (embedded in the FP):

- With the Vision Development module

Let me know if this helpe!

Ah yes, it was the embedded WMP, the object in question was:

WMPLib.IWMPPlayer4

EDIT: I had definitely used that same example to build it.
