HtmlViewRun Can't Create Object

BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Programming/HtmlViewRun Can't Create Object

AKJ(Posted 2004) [#1]
I have been trying to use Skidracer's code at
www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1039
to control an activeX object.

But it fails with the error message:
"Automation server can't create object"
whilst using HtmlViewrun() to run a script containing the line:
"var AgentControl=new ActiveXObject('Agent.Control')".

As Skidracer suggests, I have installed Microsoft Agent(without any displayed errors). The components I installed wre merlin.exe, spchapi.exe and lhttseng.exe (GB English) . But I do not know whether that is sufficient or whether I need to do more.

I am using Windows ME and Internet Explorer 6.

Can anyone give me ideas as to how to successively create the ActiveX Object?
