Using GetObject with file argument produces Error 432: File name or class name not found during Automation

Question

I have a screen scrapping application which is in VB6, It is running on windows server 2003 and now we wanted to upgrade to windows server 2012 64 bit.

I have a problem running the below code, it gives:

Error 432: File name or class name not found during Automation operation

(ref)

GetObject("E:\Robots\Sessions\session1.edp")

I also tried specifying the class name

GetObject("E:\Robots\Sessions\session1.edp","Extra.system")

Also tried CreateObject first and then GetObject, none of them seems to be working.

Thanks, Remya
