Hi,
our server is a Windows 2008R2 server, with no Microsoft Office tools installed. Each of the users do have their own version of Outlook installed. We have an application that uses OLE automation to connect to Outlook and open Outlooks "New email" window. On a local Windows pc (7,10) this works fine.
When installing the application to the server and running it from the client using Parallels 2X client, there is an error message "Cannot create ActiveX component"). The code in questions is very simple - see VB.Net below
Code:
Dim Outl As Object
Try
Outl = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
If Outl IsNot Nothing Then
Dim omsg As Object
omsg = Outl.CreateItem(0) '=Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem'
'set message properties here...'
omsg.subject = "Hello World test"
omsg.Display(True) 'will display message to user
End If
Catch ex As Exception
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
We have checked the "redirect URL/EMAIL" both on the server and the client. The URL gets redirected ok, the browser opens inside users local pc.
How could we get 2X to understand that we would like to open Outlook from the local client pc and not from the server?
Thanks,
kp
ps. we are using the latest version of Parallels/2X, both RAS server and client
