Running Autoitscript from publisher give COM error

Hi there.

Im buildning a Autoitscript that uses Qlikviews COM API to do several selections in an application and then print a PDF file.

Everyting works great when i jus the script (logged on as the same user that runs the services). But when i use "External Program" and run the script from the publisher, i get this COM error:

err.description is:
err.windescription:	Server execution failed

err.number is:	80080005
err.lastdllerror is:	0
err.scriptline is:	-1
err.source is:
err.helpfile is:
err.helpcontext is:	18996448

It seems to me as the script tries to use the servers engine to run, instead of desktop.

When i initiate the COM object im using this code:$Qview = ObjCreate("QlikTech.QlikView")

$Qview = ObjCreate("QlikTech.QlikView")

Ive build in alot of log options to isolate the error, and it seems that i cant even create the COM Object. Is there a way to perhaps specifiy the .exe to use?

All help is appritiated. Thank you.
