Hello
I have just run the scheduler for the first time on one of my computers to find a message box saying:
Aurora encountered and unexpected error and will now reset.
Debugging information:
429: ActiveX component can't create object
Aurora.Scheduler.Initialize.0
Aurora.Scheduler.Initialize.1
I have checked mscomm and it is present and I regeristed it as well
What am I doing wrong?
thanks

What OS is this on? Does the sequencer also have problems on this computer, or is it just the scheduler? ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

I am using XP on both my laptop and desktop computers. Everything works well on the laptop and the sequencer works fine on both. Just the scheduler on the desktop gives the error. It fails just after loading before any scheduler screen appears. I reloaded and re-registered mscomm but still get the error.
I used dlight scheduler and sequencer with both computers successfully last season.
Thanks for you help! ------------- skg |

The only dependancy the scheduler has which the sequencer doesn't is MSCOMCTL2.ocx. You can get this file from MS at this address:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297381 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297381
(after downloading you will need to right click on the INF file and choose "Install"). Let me know if it helps or not. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

Thanks for the help but the install above did not fix the problem. Is there anything else that may help solve this problem?
thanks Steve ------------- skg |

Well, downloaded the newest version and now I get the Borealis Aurora Scheduler splash screen just before the 429 error. Looks like we're moving it closer to the end.

Oh yes, I also down,oaded and installed the MSCOMCTL2.ocx before the upgrade and it made no difference.

If you have a file "borealis.dat" in your Aurora Sequencer directory you can try deleting it just in case it is corrupted. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

There is no file with the name borealis.dat. I've tried removing and reinstalling the Aurora program and I still have the same problem.

Hooray!!! I found it! It seems that SCRRUN.DLL was not registered. I found this inofrmation at http://www.blogsire.com/SBizzTech/blog-doc/runtime-error-429-activex-component-cant-create-object/ - http://www.blogsire.com/SBizzTech/blog-doc/runtime-error-429-activex-component-cant-create-object/ . I looked for and found the file in the system32 folder and entered the command Regsvr32.exe C:\windows\system32\Scrrun.dll at the run window.
Lights-On -Logan, thanks for all of your help and hanging in there with this problem.

Then clicked on the Scheduler... no error message and then the calendar appeared.
Lights-On-Logan, thanks so much for all of your help.

Thanks for the information. I believe the scripting runtimes are one of those files that MS says not to redistribute in the installer because they are OS specific and are supposed to already exist on any target system... but they can and do get messed up by other software having installers that do not obey this rule. It is good to know how this can affect Aurora and what the solution is. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">
