Can't create ActiveXComponent using JACOB

Question

since migrating to Lync 2013, my code fails at

ActiveXComponent officeCommunicatorActiveX = new ActiveXComponent("Communicator.UIAutomation");

with the exception:

Exception in thread "Thread-10" com.jacob.com.ComFailException: Can't co-create object
at com.jacob.com.Dispatch.createInstanceNative(Native Method)
at com.jacob.com.Dispatch.<init>(Dispatch.java:101)

I tried some online solutions, but none worked. Lync is running in 32 bit mode, and I ran my app with bot 32 & 64 bit JDKs - didn't matter. Am i using JACOB wrong ?

EDIT: before running this code, I choose my JACOB dll with:

if (shouldLoad32Bit()) {
            System.setProperty(LibraryLoader.JACOB_DLL_PATH, Files.JACOB_32.getAbsolutePath());
        } else {
            System.setProperty(LibraryLoader.JACOB_DLL_PATH, Files.JACOB_64.getAbsolutePath());
        }

Answer 1

Support for this API is discontinued in Lync 2013.
