Run-time error '438'

Post by jkeeley » Wed Jan 11, 2006 10:52 pm

Hi - I was testing out my installation process to distribute the player to some clients, and ran into an error. I installed the iOpus player just fine (ver 5.01), then uninstalled it. I re-installed it and put in the player license key. When I tried to open Internet Explorer to test the toolbar, I got the following error:

Run-time error '438'
Object doesn't support this property or method

Then, what should be the toolbar comes up, but is just blank. If I close it and attempt to re-open it, I get this error:

Run-time error '429'
ActiveX component can't create object

I'm running Windows 2000, with IE 6.0.2800.1106. Any ideas????

Oh yeah - forgot to mention - the Internet Macros player works just fine, the only problem is with the Internet Explorer toolbar.

If you reinstall the trial version, does it work then?

Nope...

Actually, I'm just using the "InternetMacrosSetup.exe" installation package, and it somehow keeps the player license key in there (registry, perhaps?) so I don't have to update the license key to make it a player.

THe license key is stored in a file called iim.ini. It is stored in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\iOpus-i-M If you want to test as if you are installing on a "clean" computer you can delete that directory after you uninstall.

Works with restart...

Tried another procedure - if I uninstall, restart, then re-install it appears to work correctly. I'll use that going forward.

OK, so the restart didn't really fix the problem. I found the IM entry in the registry and deleted it (couldn't find the iim.ini file). That fixed the license problem - so when I re-installed I was back to the trial version and it worked correctly. When I entered the player key, then checked IE, it was broken. So, it appears that the key is the problem somehow. Any thoughts?

Hello.

Is there any solution to this problem?

I'm experiencing the same problem when my macro i running IMAGESEARCH in Internet Explorer. If the macro is run i iMacro Browser there is no problem.

This is my macro:
VERSION BUILD=6300218
TAB T=1
TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS
DS CMD=MOVETO X=10 Y=15
WAIT SECONDS=1
IMAGESEARCH POS=1 IMAGE=info_kundnr_small.PNG CONFIDENCE=100

Note: This macro only searches for the image, the page is loaded in a macro run earlier.

When the IMAGESEARCH command runs a warningmessage is shown, "Run-time error '438'. Object doesn't support this property or method."

Thanks!
