C++ help!

[pedeg]

Hello there, and thank you for taking the time to read this thread.

Ok, so I've wanted to learn C++ for a looong time now. So I tried a to start a week ago.

So the first thing I did was downloading "Visual C++" so the next thing I wanted was to create a new project.

So I click "Create new project" the I choose what I want to make, and give it a name.

Then I click "Ok" Now an error pops up
"the automation server can't create the object"

I ofcourse tried googling it and I have been doing that the last week!. I found some answers on it, but they didn't work or wasn't described good enough.

So I hope some of you know what to do. Thank you!


Thank you for responding!

Please try to reinstall it, Post your Operating System and if its x86 or x64

This might help.

I just clicked "create new project"

You have to specify a name, template, and directory before you can create the project

Try to follow these instructions I found on Automation server can't create object:

Open regedit (from Ctrl+R or Cmd). The key that I needed to change the permissions on was Scripting.FileSystemObject.

1. Selected the key (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Scripting.FileSystemObject) and received the error "Cannot open Scripting.FileSystemObject: Error while opening key."

2. Clicked Ok.

3. Selected Edit Permissions from the menu and received the error "You don't have permission to view the current permission settings for Scripting.FileSystemObject but you can make permission changes.

4. Clicked Ok.

5. On the Security page, selected Advanced, then the Owner tab. The Owner box displayed "Unable to display current owner."

6. Selected Administrators to update the owner and clicked Apply and Ok.

7. Then on the Security page, clicked Add and typed Administrators and clicked Check Names. Selected the correct option and clicked Ok.

8. Checked Allow for Full Control and Read and clicked Apply and Ok.

Voila! I can now create projects in Visual Studio.Net once again. I do not have a clue how these permissions were changed but I know I didn't do it. I hope this helps you.

I hope it helps

Do you have XP? If so, try to download and install the latest Windows Script:
Download details: Windows Script 5.7 for Windows XP

[pedeg]

No, I use Vista :S

[Ebonesser]

But are you sure that you've checked if you have access to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Scripting.FileSystemObject" in regedit?

[pedeg]
