That is correct. This happens with both X86 and x64 systems. I have reported it to the MM team so hopefully they will fix it.

The admin trick works, so it's a bug new MM 3.2 and also happens with x86 systems?

It's probably the same issue I have with my VB.NET app, I thought it's related to Win x64 and not to the latest version, are previous versions still available?

I had this same issue using a Motorola Driod and Windows 7. All I had to do was run Media Monkey as the Admin and that corrected this issue for me.

YEah it is weird. I have reported this bug so they should be aware of it and hopefully fix it in the MM installer.

Weird.. I'm glad I found this post.

I'm making a Ruby script to do some simple stuff via COM object.. and it will only work if:

1) MediaMonkey is closed and running the script starts MM with the object

or

2) I run MM as Administrator (in Vista)

Seems to be the same issue. I'm going to try reinstalling to see if COM stuff works w/o running as administrator each time.

It looks like somehow your MM 3.2 COM object on installation has failed to properly install. One other user reported this error also.

I just posted this to the Bug Reports.

Also can yo try these steps?

If not try these steps....

1. Uninstall MonkeyTunes using the UNinstaller in Start Menu.

2. Uninstall MM.

3. Install MM by right clicking the installer and choosing "Run As Administrator".

4. [color=#FF0000][b]Run MediaMonkey once.[/b][/color] You may have to run it once and then run it once as Administrator. Then close MediaMonkey. This is a strange but [u]important[/u] step to install the MM com object.

5. Install MonkeyTunes. You may have to do the same and run our Installer as Administrator but I think it elevates the privs for you but try it as Administrator.

6. Run MM. It should work.

In my application MonkeyTunes I have it successfully working for hundreds of users. However two users have reported this exact same error with MM 3.2 but I am not seeing it on either of my 3.2 machines.

It looks like somehow the COM interface is not matching up when I make the very first call to SongsDB. Anyone have any thoughts?
