You need to upload better screenshot, I can't see a damn thing in it, I surely have a weak eyesight but still it's too bad. However, some pointers that might help are discussed below.

• I am not sure but this process does need the tlb file, check if it's created or not. It's automatically created at InDesign launch. Try running with Admin priveleges and then see. See this discussion for more details on the path of tlb file etc
• Secondly if you are using a C++ plugin to expose out some methods and if only those method calls are failing but the native API calls are working then make sure your plugin is loaded properly. To test check if you can call those methods using jsx atleast.

But what eactly is the cause of the issue

• Missing tlb file?
• Or failing on some methods exposed by your custom plugin.

We need to identify the cause before thinking on how to solve the issue

Maybe versioned scripts also work with C# / COM.

Check your script preferences for the current DOM version.
