    Chilkat DLLs have 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Which one do you have installed? TestComplete is a 32-bit app, so it needs the 32-bit version.


    I've tried and installed the "Chilkat 32-bit ActiveX MSI Installer" (on Windows 7 64-bit). Both

    CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Imap")

    and

    Sys.OleObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Imap")

    work fine:

     

    So, make sure you have the 32-bit version installed and that it's registered properly (maybe rerun the registration as admin).

Thanks for the help, unfortunately i haven't made much progress. Dll must be registered since it works fine when the VBScript is run outside the testcomplete application. I ran the register command again just to make sure.

 

If i try

Set imap = Sys.OleObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Imap")

 

I get the following error now. "Class not registered, ClassOD: {CEDB6B70-ED7D-4F9E-A0BC-66AFB42F7735}"

 

Again, thanks for your time as this is causing me a bit of a head ache.
