WScript.CreateObject: Could not create object named "IswiAuto16.ISWiProject"
Hello All,
My VB script ran OK on Windows 2003 Enterprise until I ran it after
I tried to install the InstallShield 2010 on a Windows 2008 R2, Windows 7.
The error is:
(658, 1) WScript.CreateObject: Could not create object named "IswiAuto16.ISWiProject"
Here is the code snippet:
' Get the Computer/machine name using Wscript.Network
Set wshNetObj = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
machineNameStr = wshNetObj.ComputerName
' Get file system object
Set fileSysObj = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
' Get IS Automation Interface Project Object
Set isProjObj = WScript.CreateObject("IswiAuto16.ISWiProject")
If WScript.Arguments.Count = 0 Then
ShowCommandOptions
Else
.
.
.
End If

Make sure you are using a 32bit scripting process. If you are defaulting to 64bit it won't be found.

Yes Chris, thanks! Our CM guy is trying to get our build process to work on 64-bit Windows for the first time (finally!) and we had this same issue. The Perl script I wrote was failing to instantiate the IswiAuto16:ISWiProject object. After finding this thread I had him check and, sure enough, the new build system was defaulting to the 64-bit Perl process to run Perl scripts.
