Launching Jabaco

Beginner

Friday, August 21st 2009, 8:19pm

I just downloaded and installed Jabaco, but when I try to launch it I get an error that says...

ERROR JABACO (38-1)
429 - ActiveX component can't create object

I downloaded the latest Windows Installer 4.5

Specs
Pentium-4 3.0Ghz
2Gb RAM
Windows XP sp3

This project looks interesting. I just wish I could run it ! :cursing:

Hi,

I really do not know what was going wrong with your installation. Maybe one of the controls was not registered, or the msxml-installation went wrong?
but you could do all of this with a simple batch-job
try the following:
* in your Jabaco-folder create a new file RegCom.bat:

Source code

regsvr32.exe ATLShmem.dll 
regsvr32.exe Codejock.ocx 
regsvr32.exe Codejock.DockingPane.Unicode.v13.1.0.ocx 
regsvr32.exe Codejock.CommandBars.Unicode.v13.1.0.ocx 
regsvr32.exe Codejock.Controls.Unicode.v13.1.0.ocx 
regsvr32.exe Codejock.PropertyGrid.Unicode.v13.1.0.ocx 
regsvr32.exe Codejock.TaskPanel.Unicode.v13.1.0.ocx 
regsvr32.exe JBCRichText.ocx 
regsvr32.exe JBTypes.dll 
regsvr32.exe JDWPJbcDbg.dll 
regsvr32.exe SkyList.ocx 
msxml6_x86.msi

* start the file by doubleclicking it.
it should show 11 times something like: "DllRegisterServer in xxx.dll was successfull"
* after that the installation of msxml should begin.

does this fix your problem?

I got an error 'Module cannot be found' for each line and this message at the end.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>msxml6_x86.msi
'msxml6_x86.msi' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Not sure what is going on. Is there a log file during installation that I can look at?

Ok, I moved the batch file to the Jabaco directory and everything registered except codejock.ocx. I can't locate this file.

I'm not sure what is going on with the xml install because it is in German and I can't understand it.

Still not working.

OK, then it's sure; this is the reason for the errormessage. try to reinstall Jabaco

I have already tried this with no success. I have also tried...

1. Removeing all older Java versions
2. Installed latest Java RT Version 6 Update 16
3. Installed latest Windows Installer 4.5
4. Verified Java is working with other Java apps
5. Tried installing older Jabaco 1u4 (also did not work)

No matter how many times I reinstall, I cannot locate the file codejock.ocx in either the Windows\System32 or Jabaco directories.

Oh well. Too bad because this project really interested me.

Your problem has nothing to do with Java i guess, it is simply an ActiveX problem. I am wondering if others do also have this problem. I tried to attach the file to the post but the file size is limited to 160kb only.

The compressed file Codejock.zip is about 417kb. You could try to find this file on the net.

I have searched for this file on the Internet with no success. If you could email me the file I would appreciate it.
Thanks

The codejock.ocx is obsolete. You should ignore this file.

Try to reinstall MSXML6: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai…&displaylang=en

That did it! At first the installer said I already had a higher version installed, but I uninstalled what I had, then reinstalled from the MS site.

viola!

Thanks for the help. I'm sure I'll be back with questions after playing around a bit.

Thanks again!

Thanks! I've been called lots of names but never a guru!

Jabaco looks very interesting to me and I hope to get myself up to speed in short order. My biggest hope will be to see how well Jabaco interfaces with third party DLLs. If Jabaco is thread safe and able to call DLLs then you will be seeing a lot of me! :thumbsup:

The default Jabaco UI-controls are based on Swing. Swing supports a pluggable look and feel. The Swing-Implementation is very clean and abstract. You should modify the Jabaco Framework rather than implementing new heavyweight controls.

Thanks for the tip Manuel! Most of the DLLs I want to interface to are for various video digitizers. They are all standard WINAPI style calls. I would not be able to reproduce them through the Jabaco Framework. I am new Java so I am really not really familiar with how it works, much less modify a framework. So that means I will be diving in head first!
