Hi Sergey.

Thanks for helping with this.

I had tried using the Object Browser on that DLL, but I get an error dialog to say it can't be loaded as it's invalid or not a type library.
The CreateObjectEx line doesn't work either, saying that it can't find the class.

As an experiment I tried running RegSvr32 on the UIAutomationCore DLL and it says that it can't register it because while it can be loaded, there is no DllRegisterServer entry point. I checked both my machine (XP SP3) and the server I'm working on (Server® 2008 Enterprise) and neither of the DLLs have a DllRegisterServer entry point.

I don't suppose you have any other ideas?

Ian Simcock.
