What would prevent createobject ("application.illustrator") from working in a VB Script

I have an automated process that monitors for Illustrator Docs and saves them as PDF.
The script is invoked from a service and was working fine, in the middle of processing, we starting getting the error "ActiveX component can't create object"
The error number is 429.
If I run the program interactively it works fine.
I am running the service under a named account that has local admin privlege to the box.
Windows2003 Standard, SP2
Illustrator 15 CS5 Design Premium.
From everything I can tell nothing on the machine has changed.
No updates, etc.
I have tried reinstalling Illustrator
All adobe patches are up to date.
I have tried creating a different account and get the same result, works fine running interactively, can't create object id script is invoked from a service.
Interestingly, you do see Illustrator.exe process in memory for a few seconds, the memory stalls ~30K and doesn't move.
When you run interactively the process is very active and memory grows was past 30K
Very baffled by this, any thoughts or insight is appreciated.

Good morninig,
Did you check the VBA menus tools\references to be sure that you use the lastest Library (Adobe Illustrator CS5 Type Library). If you have oldest dll try to remove them.
On PC opening Illustrator before using VBA macros is also a good approach.
Good luck

    I don't think it is the DAO.
    This works fine when logged in, just doesn't work when invoked from a service.
    I have narrowed it down this event I am seeing in the System Log
    The server {8337F2E2-F91D-48C1-83DF-3AF9A9177474} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
    The GUID is Illustrator from CS5.
    However I don't see Illustrator listed under DCOM in compoent services.
    How do you get Illustrator registered ?
    The executable itself doesn't work.
    The GUID maps back the ScriptingSuuport plug-in.

    You might get an answer here, but there's a separate scripting forum that might be better to post this question in:

  • What would prevent AS3 to function in an otherwise working copy...

    of Flash CS5.5? I upgraded from Flash 8 to CS5.5 recently. I've used Flash strictly for animations until recently so haven't really tinkered with AS3 at all. I tried some tutorials and got "1120 Property not recognized errors" and assumed that there was something wrong with my settings or my code. After uninstalling, reinstalling, reformatting, and trying several sample files I've found online, it's clear that the AS3 function just is not compatible with my computer. The animation functions work perfectly, but I cannot get the debugger to connect and AS# refuses to recognize any instances on the stage (and, yes, I have triple checked that publish settings are set to do so. ) Is this unusual? What would prevent the AS3 from working when everything else is fine?

    Below is a link to an fla I just created that uses your code with the two objects identified by the code.  This file is created using CS3.  See if it tests okay for you.  If so, see what is different about it that might be the cause for yours not working.  If not, there are some Adobe folks infrequently in the Flash General forum you might want to try to get the attention of.

  • What can prevent a hard refresh from completing?

    I'm running Firefox 14 on a 64-bit Windows machine. According to everything I've read, I should be able to do a hard refresh using CTRL-F5 or the refresh button on the top of the window.
    When working on a website, for example, I'll update something then want to see how it looks. Doing a CTRL-F5 does nothing.
    I'm a recent convert to Firefox. Now I must have IE open to see changes since the hard refresh works on IE, but I work using Firefox.
    The only thing I can think of is that there is some setting that is preventing the hard refresh from working.
    And, please don't ask me to clear cache and cookies. I've got so many passwords remembered on this thing, it would slow me down considerably to look each one up as I need them.
    Given all that, any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Maybe temporarily switch to Private Browsing mode and possibly clear the memory cache.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
    In PB mode Firefox doesn't use the disk cache and the cookies from regular mode.
    You can set the browser.privatebrowsing.keep_current_session pref to true on the about:config page to prevent closing the current session.

  • What would prevent me from turning on wi fi?

    I,ve been using my MacBook Air with a comcast provided router for 18 months without a connectivity problem until today. Suddenly the wi fi is turned off and I cannot get it to turn on. There are no bars showing on the indicator, but wi fi is working because I am using my iPad mini to post this query. What would cause the MacBook Air wi fi to shut down? It worked fine yesterday.   Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Bill

    For anyone interested, I think the crux of this issue was that once upon a time, my son also had an iphone, and then was switched to non-phone (he dropped his iphone and it cracked beyond use). I went through the "unregister" process that is documented online. However, something stuck. That said, my plan was always to get him an iphone in the future, but was waiting for his plan to be in upgrade mode, and also, I had him use a crappy phone to understand the value of a nice phone -- even though, he only had an iPhone 4, 8G, and it was free, I wanted to teach him about taking care of the phone...
    That said, he got his upgrade a few days ago, and it immediately fixed the iMessage issue on his iPad...odd, still.

  • Is there a way to prevent a Blackberry SIM from working in other smartphones?

    Hi all,
    Just a quick question here - we've tested and found that a SIM card with an iPhone/Android data plan on it won't work in Blackberry (at least not the data portion) but is there a way to prevent a card associated with a BES/BIS data plan from working in other Smartphones?  The data use is the big issue for us.
    I know this should be as simple as telling our users they're forbidden to do so, but... they're users, and we've had a few go a bit rogue...
    Thanks
    Environment:  Bell Mobility, BESX, ActiveSync
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Sparq,
    Current BlackBerry smartphones require access to BIS or BES, which requires special data plans, which is why the iPhone/Android data plans don't work, but as far as I know, the same restriction doesn't exist going the other way. Your best bet would be to call your service provider (in your case, Bell?) and see if they have the ability to apply a restriction on their end. That's really the best chance you'd have for blocking them out.
    Of course, if it's a serious enough issue, your company's CEO and management team could make it an offense that could result in the termination of a position as it technically could be considered theft of company assests.

  • What would happen if application server needs to be restarted?

    I am talking about a scenario where application server hangs and needs to be restarted, because you couldnt do anything on it. What would happen to any insert, update of data taking place at that time. I guess it will all be rolled back if they are not committed and written on the data files. What would you do in this case before restarting , what would you check after restart of the system? Please share your experiences.

    Hi,
    >What would you do in this case before restarting , what would you check after restart of the system? Please share your experiences

  • Cap6 What would prevent a project from jumping to previous slides?

    My current project is using buttons with jump to slide to move between four slides in sequence.  When the project is previewed the buttons that progress forward work correctly however none of the buttons that go to previous slides work.
    When the progress bar is moved back it does not move past a certain point.  If you move the progress bar forward rapidly you can then access the previous slides and the buttons begin to function correctly.
    Has anyone encountered this issue and found a resolution?

    How did you check? Preview in browser or after publishing? Are those the navigation buttons on a default playbar or custom buttons?
    Do you have question slides? If yes, what are the Quiz settings? Do  you allow Backwards navigation, what is the Required setting?
    Do you have pretest slides? Is Branch aware checked?
    Which version (exact number) of 6? I'm asking this because the version ending on 199 had some navigation problems.

  • AGP 4X what would be some top performers from this era?

     Hello. I have a PC that has a 2.4Ghz CPU & 1.5Gb RAM on a WinXp 32-bit system powered by a 400W PSU.
     The AGP (no PCI-E) is a 2X/4X slot and from what I can gather is a first generation 2.0 compliant. I have read that most if not all 8X cards are backwards compliant but a very real possibility of the voltage signaling level can cause instability or a card not working at all or even damage to ones card/system.    I also am not sure of the voltage signaling level of my slot. I have only been able to find one person that informed me that because the slit in between the two connecting blocks of my old AGP card is further back from the back of the card (that is to say the larger block is closer to where the metal bracket is at the back of the desktop) that I have a 3.3V keyed slot. Although if I am using a 4X card I assume it can handle 1.5V's with no problem.
     With that info. mentioned I am wondering what some of the best performers are that would be at 4X. I have tried a few games with this card (Sapphire Radeon 9600XT DDR 128MB, which I know many run hot and this one although still working has burned out it's own fan!) as I have tried a few games such as MS Flight Sim X, Bio (something) and some sniper 3 game and they were very choppy during play (very ) so something with more memory, processing power would be a nice addition to this aged system.  Unless of course there is an 8X card that would not damage this system.
     Thank you very much,
    Mumford68

  • What would cause my autofill to stop working?

    On all apps or do the Music and Videos apps still have sound ? If they do then have you got notifications muted ?
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

    eee! So many posts.
    I currently have 2 harddrives hooked up. One has about 37.56 Gigs left on it (probably just over 3/4 full) and the other is nearly full. My files are saved onto it. I am editing in DV format and everything is rendered.
    I have a drive allocated as the scratch disk.
    I don't believe the drive is going to sleep. I would think it would effect my audio as well, since they are both located on the same drive.
    For what it's worth, I ended up ejecting the drive I was using as I needed to do some other work and my system seemed to speed back up. I reopened Final Cut with and it's like my system isn't bogged down anymore. I may try capturing to tape using a different drive and see if maybe it was the drive itself that was bogging down my system.

  • What setting prevents a deleted app from re-downloading from iCloud to the iPhone?

    re: iOS 7.1.1, iTunes Mac 11.2, Mac OS 10.9.3
    What setting do I select that prevents an app that's been deleted from the iPhone from re-loading back from iCloud after a Sync? I don't want to permanently delete the App from iCloud, as I want the option to load it back at a later date. I can't find the Setting that does this. Is it a setting on the iPhone or in iTunes on the Mac?
    I know this can be done, as my iPad is operating this way. But my wife's iPhone isn't. I can't remember what setting I used to get it to do this.
    Thanks

    I just tried it. I deleted an app from the phone. When I connected to iTunes instead of a Sync button there were 2 buttons, Revert and Apply. And the app I deleted had an Install button. Perhaps if you don't click Apply the app will be reinstalled.

  • ISight prevents Firewire external drive from working!

    I just bought a brand new La Cie 320GB Triple Interface hard disk and have been using it through firewire on both my iMac G5 and my iBook G4.
    The thing works perfectly with the iBook: fast and reliable. However, with the iMac G5, the Finder occasionally gives up transferring files saying that it had an "error -36" and that some files could not be read or written.
    I noticed that the speed of the transfer usually slowed to a crawl (from 20MB/s to 2MB/s) before the error. And that I could repeat the error with the same files.
    Worried for the condition of the new drive (or of the iMac's own HD) I searched in these forums for a solution. Following some written advice, I have zapped the PRAM, reset the Open Firmware and the SMU.
    For a second it seemed that problem had been solved. But now it started again. Thinking that it could be a power issue I disconnected my iSight camera from the other firewire port. Lo and behold: the drive started working perfectly. All trasnfers completed without a hitch and with improved speed.
    The question is: apart from what I have already done, is there anything that I could do to solve this iSight conflict? Or should I just cross my fingers and play it safe so that the whole power supply in my iMac G5 does not fail completely!?
    Thanks for reading! Please help...

    External hard drive spontaneously unmounted? Try these tips:
    NEW FIRMWARE: Try updating your external hard drive's firmware, which is available from your drive manufacturers Web site--or just use VersionTracker's (www.versiontracker.com) search function to find it. Be sure to back up your data before applying the update, and carefully follow the manufacturers instructions.
    OUT OF iSIGHT: If you're using an iSight camera while you're using a FireWire drive, the camera may be interfering with the drive's ability to stay mounted. Try temporarily disconnecting your iSight and moving it to a separate FireWire port. If you have multiple FireWire devices, try using a FireWire hub.
    POWER PROBLEM: A faulty power adapter could be causing your drive to unmount. Your drive may not be getting enough juice to stay on, causing the drive to turn off and thereby unmounting it from your Mac. Alternately, the power adapter may not be providing a steady amount of power, causing your drive to turn on and off. Try replacing the adapter. If you can't get a replacement adapter from the hard drive manufacturer, try your local electronics store. Just make sure the adapter you choose has the same connector and input/output voltage. you can find the input/output voltage on the adapter itself.
    Cheers!
