ActiveX component can't create object:'Photoshop.Application

Post by darinf »

I am running Photoshop CS5.1 on a Windows 7 64-bit system. (Part of CS5.5 Master Collection installation)
All I am trying to do is run the sample .vbs scripts that come with Photoshop. When I double click on any of the sample scripts, the Photoshosp window comes to the front and then after about 10 seconds I get the error:

ActiveX component can't create object:'Photoshop.Application'

This happens if I have Photoshop 64-bit or 32-bit running.
This happens on two different computers running Windows 7.
I couldn't find any solutions in a Google search.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
