Re: Using Win32::OLE on 64 Bit Windows

I've used Win32::OLE on windows NT/2000/XP and windows server 2003 for
calling MS Word 97/2000/2003, MS Excell 97/2000, and MS Access 97/2000
successfully. I don't know for sure, but I think XP is a 64bit OS. In
XP, you can force programs to run under older window models by right
clicking the executible's icon, selecting properties->compatability and
checkmarking compatability mode and selecting the windows OS you wish
to emulate for that particular executable.

I know that the .NET framework has a new programming paradigm where
..dlls no longer are entered into the windows registry. It could be
what you are trying to call via OLE really isn't registerd in the
windows registry (because its written in .NET), and the Win32::OLE is
reporting that it can't find the scripting library in the windows
registry.
