Question

Register com object

I am working on the ColdFusion website that is using the dll object.

For example it instances the com object in every page like this:

<CFSET Processor = CreateObject("COM", "mydll.Processor")>

I have the mydll.dll; I am not sure how I can register this dll in the ColdFusion. I work locally in my compyer (localhost)

Right now that I only copy the dll in the project folder and I get this error,

An exception occurred when instantiating a Com object. The cause of this exception was that: coldfusion.runtime.com.ComObjectInstantiationException: An exception occurred when instantiating a Com

I really appriciate your help.

Thanks.

    Things to try:

    1. Use the Regsvr32.exe utility to register the component in the Windows registry, only do this if it is not already registered.

    2. The value of the "class" argument of CreateObject should refer to the ProgID of the COM component.  The ProgID can be found in the Windows registry.

    I tried the regedit before but it gave me an error:

    Dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.

    I suspect there is a problem with your dll file based on this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249873
