Automation error in Program Compatibility Wizard

March 25th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

When you start the Program Compatibility Wizard in Windows Vista to test applications or run older applications under Windows Vista, the following error may occur:

Line: 36
Char: 1
Error: Automation server can’t create object
Code: 0
URL:  res://acprgwiz.dll/compatmode.hta

Also, Program Compatibility Wizard buttons may be blank.

SOLUTION

Open an elevated Command Prompt window. To do so, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

Type the following commands one by one and press {ENTER} after each line:

regsvr32 scrrun.dll
regsvr32 wshom.ocx
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll

You should see the message "DllRegisterServer in <filename> succeeded." for each command.

See if you’re able to launch Program Compatibility Wizard now.

Note: If you receive the error The specified module could not be found when registering the above modules, then you may have to run the System File Checker.
