I am using a dll in my script and it works fine for me, but others experience trouble when it calls a function... This is the code used to call the function from the dll

code:

---

    new ActiveXObject('felipe.sarabia').SetMusicInfo('', '', '', ReadRegistry("PSM_icon"), '', MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(strMyNewPSM));

---

The error message says something about an Automation error, the object couldn't be created

Any ideas why it would do this on others PCs, but not on mine?

maybe the DLL isn't registered?

I'm not sure I ever registered it on mine... Is it possible to register it via a script, as this may explain it (It's a dll from another script).

I'm a total noob with DLLs and things like this.

EDIT: Could I create a new Shell object and run regsrvr32 on the dll?

pfft  this does what you want without other dlls

code:

/*
Function by -dt- (Matt Labrum) (Converted from http://forums.fanatic.net.nz/index.php?showtopic=11311&st=0# )

Void setNowPlaying( boolean enabled, [String type [, String format [, String title [, String artist [, String album [, String contentID ]]]]]] );

if enabled is true the now playing will show, if its false then the personal message will show.
type is the type of image you want to display. Either Music, Office or Games.
format is the format of the song eg {0} by {1} which would show title by artist.
format can also be a message eg "moo goes the cow"

Examples:

setNowPlaying(true, "Music", "{0} - {1}", "dt", "dt's band", "dt's album");

or setting it to a Game icon and displaying a message

setNowPlaying(true, "Games", "yay playing warcraft");

or set it to the office icon
Playing(true, "Office", "yay using word ");
setNow

and turning it off
setNowPlaying(false);

function setNowPlaying(enabled, type, format, title, artist, album, contentID){
    if(typeof(type) == "undefined")type = "Music";
    if(typeof(format) == "undefined")format = "";
    if(typeof(title) == "undefined")title = "";
    if(typeof(artist) == "undefined")artist = "";
    if(typeof(album) == "undefined")album = "";
    if(typeof(contentID) == "undefined")contentID = "";
    enabled = Math.abs(enabled);
   
    var WM_COPYDATA = 0x4A;
   
    //reference
    var song = Interop.Allocate(512);
   
    //change the Music thing to Games or Office or
    song.WriteString(0, "\\0" + type + "\\0" + enabled + "\\0" + format +"\\0" + title +"\\0" + artist + "\\0" + album + "\\0" + contentID + "\\0");
   
   
    //write our copyDataStruct Structure
    var copyDataStruct = Interop.Allocate(12);
    copyDataStruct.WriteDWORD(0, 0x547); //dwData
    copyDataStruct.WriteDWORD(4, song.Size); //cbData
    copyDataStruct.WriteDWORD(8, song.DataPtr);  //lpData
   
   
    //Send it to all open messengers
    var hMSGRUI = 0;
    do{
        hMSGRUI = Interop.Call("User32", "FindWindowExW", 0, hMSGRUI, "MsnMsgrUIManager", 0);
        if(hMSGRUI > 0){
            Interop.Call("User32", "SendMessageW", hMSGRUI, WM_COPYDATA, 0, copyDataStruct);   
        }
    }while(hMSGRUI != 0);

Thanks -dt-. It work perfect. Saves me a lot of hassle I think
