RSEE64 fails with pdm.dll failed to register

Post by Kilsgaard »

Hi

Is there a way to fix the pdm.dll failed to register, when installing RSEE64.exe (SAPIEN Remote Script Execution and debugging Service (64 Bit)).
It fails my 6 development serveres/clients.

This is a Microsoft COM object for the ActiveX debugger (VBScript, JScript etc.)
Most commonly a failure to register a COM object is caused by
a) missing the Visual Studio runtime or other prerequisites.
b) insufficient access rights to register a COM object.
c) a lock on the dll file as it is currently in use or scanned by anti-Virus/Malware scanners.

Hi
Thanks, i will look into it:

a)Does you know what prerequisites the 2023 version needs, and what version of visual studio runtime?
i have installed 2017, 2019 and 2022.

b) i am domain and local administrator on the workstaions and servers, so do not think it is that.
c)I have tried with sysinternals process explorer, and killed applications using the pdm.dll, to try and be sure it was not locked.

but i will try again, when i know the prerequisites :-)

The only Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable runtime needed should be the 2015-2022 x64 version from here:
