Hi Mark, It looks like it is trying to use pythoncomloader26.dll. Maybe it is to due with the Wow64 stuff? I've pasted the Registry values below in case you can get any insight into it. If you have any suggestions about how to go about debugging it. I am happy to put a little effort in here on my end, but this stuff is a little bit beyond my experience.
Thanks, Chris Here are what I think are the registry values for the ActiveX Script registration: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{DF630910-1C1D-11d0-AE36-8C0F5E000000}] @="Python ActiveX Scripting Engine" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{DF630910-1C1D-11d0-AE36-8C0F5E000000}\Debugging] @="0" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{DF630910-1C1D-11d0-AE36-8C0F5E000000}\Implemented Categories] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{DF630910-1C1D-11d0-AE36-8C0F5E000000}\Implemented Categories\{B3EF80D0-68E2-11D0-A689-00C04FD658FF}] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{DF630910-1C1D-11d0-AE36-8C0F5E000000}\Implemented Categories\{F0B7A1A1-9847-11CF-8F20-00805F2CD064}] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{DF630910-1C1D-11d0-AE36-8C0F5E000000}\Implemented Categories\{F0B7A1A2-9847-11CF-8F20-00805F2CD064}] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{DF630910-1C1D-11d0-AE36-8C0F5E000000}\InprocServer32] "ThreadingModel"="both" @="pythoncomloader26.dll" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{DF630910-1C1D-11d0-AE36-8C0F5E000000}\LocalServer32] @="C:\\Python26\\pythonw.exe \"C:\\Python26\\lib\\site-packages\\win32com\\server\\localserver.py\" {DF630910-1C1D-11d0-AE36-8C0F5E000000}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{DF630910-1C1D-11d0-AE36-8C0F5E000000}\ProgID] @="Python.AXScript.2" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{DF630910-1C1D-11d0-AE36-8C0F5E000000}\PythonCOM] @="win32com.axscript.client.pyscript.PyScript" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{DF630910-1C1D-11d0-AE36-8C0F5E000000}\VersionIndependentProgID] @="Python" On Tue, Sep 6, 2011 at 10:28 PM, Mark Hammond <skippy.hamm...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 7/09/2011 5:17 AM, Chris Lambacher wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> Whenever I load an extension using the ActiveX Script for Python in a >> Classic ASP page, I get an error saying the DLL can't be loaded.
