LO68608: 'FILE "\AUTOMATION -EMBEDDING.NSF" DOES NOT EXIST' ERROR BEING GENERATED WHEN INTERACTING WITH NOTES VIA OLE

APAR status

• Closed as duplicate of another APAR.

Error description

• Create an executable that interacts with Notes via OLE.
  For example, the following C++ code could be used:
  
  #include <afxdisp.h>
  #import "C:\lotus\notes\notes32.tlb" rename("TEXT",
  "LOTUS_TEXT")
  void main()
  {
   CComDispatchDriver ptrSession;
   OleInitialize(NULL);
   HRESULT hr =
  ptrSession.CoCreateInstance(OLESTR("Notes.NotesSession"));
   OleRun(ptrSession);
   _variant_t serverName(OLESTR("")), fileName(OLESTR(""));
   _variant_t varMailDb;
   _variant_t varTitle;
   hr = ptrSession.Invoke2(OLESTR("GetDatabase"), &serverName,
  &fileName, &varMailDb);
   CComDispatchDriver ptrMailDb = (IUnknown*)varMailDb;
   ptrMailDb.Invoke0(OLESTR("OpenMail"));
   ptrMailDb.GetPropertyByName(OLESTR("Title"),&varTitle);
   _bstr_t bstrI(varTitle);
   CString strFinal;
   strFinal.Format(_T("%s"), (LPCTSTR) bstrI);
   AfxMessageBox(strFinal);
   return;
  }
  
  On Windows 7, create a standard (non-administrator) user.
  Add that user to the Administrators group.
  Log in as that user,
  Launch the Lotus Notes Client.
  
  Right-click on the executable created and chose "Run as
  Administrator".
  
  The error message:
  
  File "\Automation -Embedding.nsf" does not exist
  
  will be produced at the line:
  
  HRESULT hr =
  ptrSession.CoCreateInstance(OLESTR("Notes.NotesSession"));
  
  If the executable is run without "Run as Administrator" then no
  error is produced.
  

Local fix

• Change the user account or executable launch configuration.
