Register a copied application to registry

Question

I currently have an Mainframe terminal emulator (HostExplorer). My team only have the folder where the executables and dll resides and open the .exe file to run the emulator. But I have this idea of automating some things through VB script or something. The problem is when I am using CreateObject("HostExplorer"), it does not work because the application is not registered in the registry. Is there anyway for me to have "CreateObject" work on HostExplorer.

I am not sure if the file "intall.ini" can help but i will include it below (deleted some codes at the end because of limit of characters per post):

Answer 1

This should be possible but you will need to understand how HostExplorer implements OLE Automation. A quick search has found the following documentation here.

What you may find is that you need HostExplorer to be opened and running prior to trying to use CreateObject as often with these Terminal Emulator applications they will only 'attach' to a currently running instance of the application.

Answer 2

Having trouble working with 2 instalations at the same time (HostExplorer 6.2 & Hummingbird HostExplorer 9) the linking of the .dll files for automation was lost.

To call the hostexplorer object from VB6 first run:

"C:\Program Files\HostExplorer.nt\HOSTEX32.EXE /Automation"

Then call the object like:

CreateObject("HostExplorer")
