The exeshell-x64.dll was registered successfully - but I get the following error if I start the PHP script: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Failed to create COM object `exeshell.shell': Klasse nicht registriert What can I do to solve this problem?

Actually I'm evaluating your product and downloaded the latest version from your homepage.
Build: Nov 10 2012

The registration of the exeshell-x64.dll was successfull:

Furthermore I activated the php-extension "php_com_dotnet.dll" within the IIS-Manager.

But I still get this error.

Thanks in advance.
