Question:

ActiveX component can’t create object "Chilkat_9_5_0.Ftp2"

Jun 07 '16 at 09:36

Just installed FTP2 bundle – using ftp vb example –

Receiving “ActiveX component can’t create object "Chilkat_9_5_0.Ftp2"

Code 800A01AD

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True)

set ftp = CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Ftp2")
'  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
'  Chilkat 1-Developer Bundle
success = ftp.UnlockComponent("Anything")
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

Answer

If your VBScript is 64-bit, then you need to download and register the 64-bit Chilkat ActiveX. (Both 32-bit and 64-bit Chilkat ActiveX's may coexist on the same system.)

See https://vrobert.fr/2011/10/cant-run-vbscript-with-32-bits-activex-on-windows-2008-64-bits/
