Thanks for your help! I have a application installed on my system. I can start the application by using: my $app = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Aaa.Bbb');
The problem is that I cannot find Aaa.Bbb in OLE/COM Object Viewer or OLE-Browser. I did a thorough search! Another question is: How do I shut the application down?
