MSComm object not created in a3x

[RichardL]

Local $sAxName
Local $oMSComm

$sAxName = "MSCOMMLib.MSComm.1"
$oMSComm = ObjCreate($sAxName)
MsgBox(0, Default, StringFormat("Name: %s, Obj %d, Err %d", $sAxName, IsObj($oMSComm), @error))

I'm talking to serial ports (for Arduino) using the MSComm object.  It all runs fine from SciTE or .exe.  If I compile to .a3x the object is not created.  I could manage without .a3x but I like it because it compiles faster.

Are you running the ax3 with the x86 or x64 AutoIt3.exe version? 
Might Want to play with that as that is the only reason I can think of that could case this.

Ah yes, I tend no to think of x86/x64.  The PC is W7-X64.  The x64 option makes it more complicated:

64.a3x - fail
64.exe - fail
86.a3x - fail
86.exe - good

I know the MSComm control is a VB6 item so may have issues with x64.
