PRB: OLE Initialization Error Running Task Scheduler Sample Code (184767)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer (Programming) 4.0
This article was previously published under Q184767 SYMPTOMS
To replace the System Agent in Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft has created a new Internet Explorer 4.0 Add-in component called Task Scheduler. Sample code that uses the interfaces are available for this utility, they can be found in the Internet Client software development kit (SDK) as well as the Platform SDK in the following directories:
\INetSDK\Samples\Task
\MSSDK\samples\sysmgmt\tasksched
If you do not have the Task Scheduler Add-in installed on your system, you receive an "Ole initialization and instantiation failed" error.
CAUSE
You must have the Task Scheduler Add-in installed in order for this sample
to function correctly; otherwise, you receive an "OLE initialization
and instantiation failed" error. The necessary interfaces are not installed
so the CoCreateInstance fails when trying to initialize the ITaskScheduler
interface because the Task Scheduler Add-in is not available.
RESOLUTION
The necessary interfaces for this sample are registered when you install
the Task Scheduler add-in for Internet Explorer 4.0. This add-in can be
found by navigating through the Download section for Internet Explorer at
the following Web site:
After the Task Scheduler Add-in is installed, the compiled Sa.exe functions properly.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
