Error description

  • On 64bit Windows create a sample VBS file called test.vbs (where
notes is installed)

In this file add the following code:

   dim s
   Set s = CreateObject("Lotus.NotesSession")

Save the file and run the following command.

WSCRIPT test.vbs

The following error will appear.

Error: ActiveX component can't create object:
'Lotus.NotesSession'

Code: 800A01AD

Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error.

This is due to 64bit windows defaulting to the 32bit WSCRIPT
program.

Local fix

  • Explicity reference the 64bit version of WSCRIPT.

For example:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\WSCRIPT test.vbs
