I was trying the below code and getting "Automation server can't create object" error.

function GetAppVersion(){

var XLApp = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application", "ipaddress"); 
return(XLApp.Version);

}

but if I use new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application") then I am not getting this error.

Please help me to avoid getting error on above code.

Assuming you are running this from a web page loaded in Internet Explorer, see the documentation :

Creating an object on a remote server can only be accomplished when Internet security is turned off.

Turn off Internet Security.
