Im using SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1
When I try to run these two lines of code in VBScript:
Set Application = WScript.CreateObject("SASEGObjectModel.Application.4")
WScript.Echo Application.Name & ", Version: " & Application.Version
I receive the error below.
Error: could not locate automation class named "SASEGObjectModel.Application.4.1".
Code: 80020009
Source: WScript.Createobject
If I change to Set Application = CreateObject("SASEGObjectModel.Application.4"), I receive the error below:-
Error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'SASEGObjectModel.Application.4'
Code: 800A01AD
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
I'm running on window 7 32 bit.
Appreciate the help.
This might be an installation issue, where the SAS EG scripting model isn't registered. Can you run this command (from a Windows command prompt) and try again?
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\RegAsm.exe /codebase /tlb "C:\Program Files\SAS\Enterprise Guide 4\SASEGScripting.DLL"
You might need to change some of the paths to fit your system.
Then here is a test script:
Option Explicit
Dim App
On Error Resume Next
Set App = CreateObject("SASEGObjectModel.Application.4")
If (App Is Nothing) Then
Dim strmsg
Dim errNum
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
strmsg = "Error #" & Hex(Err.Number) & " " & Err.Description
Wscript.Echo("Cannot create SASEGObjectModel.Application.4: " & strmsg)
End If
End If
