Agilent VSA 89601A E_NOINTERFACE winerror

I am using an Agilent Infinium scope, connected via LAN to external windows PC.  On the PC I am running Labwindows/CVI, and Agilent VSA 89601A software.  The VSA software works fine when controlled manually.  I have run the ActiveX controller wizard, and have created a *.fp Instrument for the 89600 which contains the entire library of function calls to the VSA. 
 
Heres the problem: Everything compiles fine, but when i call
 
AgtVsaVector_Open_Application ("c:\\...\\...\\VsaVector.exe", NULL, 1, LOCALE_NEUTRAL, 0, &vsahandle)
 
i get the error 0x80004002L from winerr.h which is E_NOINTERFACE. 
 
When I try to open VsaVector.exe first, then run a command like  'AgtVsaVector_Open_Application (NULL, 1, LOCALE_NEUTRAL, 0, &vsahandle), i seem to be getting a viable handle (something like '15278200') but then none of the other commands like 'AgtVsaVector_FrequencySetCenter' do anything. 
 
Basically, I'm confident I have the *.fp set up correctly for the vsa, but the only thing i can get the software to do is abort taking data.

Hello,
The errors you are reporting are not particular to programming with LabWindows.
They have something to do with your activeX.
I am not sure what can be done on our end but you might consider posting in a programming forum.
