ActiveX component can't create object:'Photoshop.Application'

New Here ,
Aug 22, 2011 Aug 22, 2011

I am running Photoshop CS5.1 on a Windows 7 64-bit system. (Part of CS5.5 Master Collection installation)

All I am trying to do is run the sample .vbs scripts that come with Photoshop.

When I double click on any of the sample scripts, the Photoshosp window comes to the front and then after about 10 seconds I get the error:

ActiveX component can't create object:'Photoshop.Application'

This happens if I have Photoshop 64-bit or 32-bit running.

This happens on two different computers running Windows 7.

I couldn't find any solutions in a Google search.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Must you use Visual Basic?

Most users seem to prefer JavaScript, so the amount of advice for issues with that might be larger.

I've been coding vb for two decades and have written automated layout applications in InDesign for major publishers . . . so I'd be most productive in VB.NET. Just having a hard time getting connected.

Is the photoshop type library only for 32-bit machines?

I got it working after I installed the x32 bit version of PS on my Windows 7 (64-bit) machine.

I also selected "Run as Administator" when I launch PS once, and then rebooted. they was necessary to get permission for the type libraries it seems.
