AutoCAD LT 2007 usage via OLE Automation

[Anonymous]

Hi!

I have installed AutoCAD 2007 LT and I am trying to automate it by means of OLE in MS Visual Basic 6, but it is failing. Creation of the AutoCAD.Application instance fails.

Set m_aaApp = CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application.17")

It hangs during one, two minutes and then returns the error: "Can't create ActiveX object".
During hang I saw AutoCADLT.exe process in "Task Manager".

Also, I had tried to start AutoCAD LT manually and to use GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application.17") function in VB6 code, but it fails immediately.

All AuotoCAD's TLBs and libraries are installed in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\". acax17enu.tlb is here. acadauto.chm is provided, but it does not work.

I have checked AutoCAD application's settings inside "DCOM Config": they are default. What can cause it?

Thanks for advise!

LT is not VBA capable like full AutoCAD.

Thanks.

Yes, it is without VBA, but TLBs and "OLE Automation" guide are installed with AutoCAD LT. For what?

Also, "Application" object is being created via "CreateObject" function but hung.

Alex,

Maybe you should talk to MS about compliance issues.
The certificate is invalid.

What you are trying to do is blocked by LT.
I think you should keep a log of wasted man years
