Cannot create ActiveX Component - Windows Server 2016 + Excel 2016 32bits

Question

Hi there!

I have a dll Library that works nice with Windows Server 2008/Excel 2013 32 bits, but fails with Windows Server 2016 + Excel 2016 32 bits, showing the following message: Cannot Create Active Component (I can compile the VBA code test without error).

I created a VB6 EXE app to test that dll and it worked nice on WinServer 2016.

Many thanks for any kind of help.

Best regards,

Hi, Luie!

Initially, I'm sorry for the delay in reply.

I was studying the problem better and realized that even running Windows 8, the problem also occurs.

Any suggestion?

Best regards,

Ciro.
