I created a program using ActiveState's perl 5.8.4, compiled it using
perlapp 5.3.0 and ran it on Windows 2000 Professional SP4 against
Outlook 2000 SR-1 (9.0.0.3821). It runs properly both from a command
prompt and as a scheduled task. I released it into production on
Windows 2000 server SP4 using the identical version of Outlook 2000.
Again, it runs great from a command prompt. When I run it as a
scheduled task, however, it dies because it's not able to get the
Outlook Application.
Hi there,
I'm afraid I have no solution to your problem, but if you've found help,
please share with me, as I code to access Outlook as well.
One of the (unrelated) Outlook issues that I deal with, is that with the
latest Outlook, the user is prompted to grant access to the Perl
application, when the application starts. Some kind of security measure
on Microsoft's part, but it does not happen for Outlook 2000.
Here's the relevant code:
Win32::OLE->Initialize(Win32::OLE::COINIT_OLEINITIALIZE);
die Win32::OLE->LastError(),"\n" if Win32::OLE->LastError( );
eval { $Outlook =
Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Outlook.Application') };
die "Outlook is not installed" if $@;
unless (defined $Outlook) {
$Outlook = Win32::OLE->new('Outlook.Application', sub
{$_[0]->Quit;});
or die "Oops, cannot start Outlook";
<======================= dies here under Win2k srvr as a scheduled task
As best I can tell, Outlook is registered the same on both machines.
The same dlls exist on both. I even set up the scheduled task to run
under the same userid I used when logging on to the server to run the
program from the command prompt. My theory is that there is some sort
of permissions issue or a difference in the scheduled task environment
between the two versions of the Win2k OS, but I'm not succeeded at
finding the problem and how to resolve it.
I would greatly appreciate any insight or assistance in getting this
to run in the new environment.
Thanks,
Ken
