InstallShield Automation Interface on 64-bit System

If you use a script to automate your build process using the InstallShield 2011 Automation Interface on a 64-bit OS you must call the script using a 32-bit process. Otherwise you may get this error: "Automation server can't create object" (error code: 800A01AD). Launching the script from a 64-bit process like C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe you'll get the following error:

To get around this use the 32-bit version of command prompt which is here: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe. For more detail see InstallShield's webpage about this issue.
