Okay, so I downloaded the wrapper:

Anytime I try to import the DLL as a component it gives me the error that it
can't import as an activex control. Anyone had any success getting the 4.1
sdk in vb6 that doesnt mind sharing?

I'm a noob, but don't flame me for it.

Have a look at http://www.activeworlds.com/sdk/vb/vb_index.htm how to set up the COM SDK,
in particular the Preparation section. You can also register the DLL using regsvr32.exe
from a command line.

I tried those instructions originally that is when VB said it couldn't bring
it in as an active X control. I tried registering it with regsvr32 and I
then go the follow error:

0x80029c4a

A brief glance at the MSKB says this:

If you intend for your COM objects to be consumed by a Microsoft Visual
Basic application, your COM objects must implement the ISupportErrorInfo
interface. However, to make sure that Visual Basic translates your returned
HRESULT values correctly, you must not set the bstrDescription parameter to
any value except NULL.

How should I proceed?

I think something's wrong with the 4.1 COM SDK.

Trying to do regsvr32 on it fails, with a return code of 0x80029c4a,
same error code that Mix Master is getting.

Trying to add it to a .NET project (with its COM interop, etc) also
results in an error message, complaining that it can't recognize the DLL
file as a COM component.

Okay so I just installed VStudio 2005 with the .net 2.0 framework. Still
can't get the wrapper to register or import into VB. Will keep trying.

I tried to add it as a COM component in .net, and I got the following error:

The type library C:\whereitslocated\awsdk.tlb cannot be loaded.

Tried to use regasm.exe to create a type lib, but that didnt work either.
Can't load it because it's not a net file

I tried the wrapper in both Visual Basic 6 and Visual C# .NET. No luck in
either of them. I'm getting the same errors as everyone else. I'm guessing
AW has caught on by now.

Hopefully, we'll get a resolution soon enough.

Yeah, as nice and helpful as preston has been lately, I'm finding myself
waay too limited by it's programming capabilities.

AWI has updated the wrapper. Problem is, now when you destroy an instance
the sdk causes the compiler to crash.Does anyone know anything about this?

*dies when the sdk imports properly*

[View Quote] I never heard the compiler can crash while the application is running.
Oh well - I forgot it is VB :)

I noticed a crash only when I attempted to close the project and it was
still running a test compile.

I tied my destroy instance to a logout button, as well as when you unload
the form, no errors for me.
