I have 2 computers - a laptop and a PC. Both of them with windows 7 64-bit.

I've registered a dll with an activex control using the cmd command:

c:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32 mydll.dll

in both of the computers, the registration has been made successfully.

Then, I've written a VB script which in its beginning I have this line:

Dim objTest

Set objTest = CreateObject("MyControl.TestClass")

when the name in the () is my activex control.

In the laptop it works fine, in the pc I recieve an error code 429 as mentioned in the title. In both of them I have admin privileges and the laptop has internet access, while the pc do not.

Please help me.
