We have started experiencing the below error when trying to run any sort of VBA procedure from MicroStation V8i SS10 (08.11.09.908)
VBA interface error: failed creating the comp manager - 0x80040583
We did have it working with V8i SS10 for a short term (couple of days) until a Windows "Security" update seemed to have broken it. I got our IT department to roll back the update which did not help. I then got a fresh PC without that update installed and it still did not work.
I have read this article on the Communities
https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/10631/vba-interface-error-failed-creating-the-comp-manager---0x80040583
I have downloaded the latest Pre Req pack that i could find from the Bentley Website (visualizationcontent081109451en.msi) but after installing and rebooting it does not change.
Due to Bentley's support dropping for older SELECT versions i am trying to test our CAD Build with SS10 but cant do any sort of testing as it wont load our VBA programs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This has been resolved. It turns out that the latest Pre Req pack available from the Bentley Connect site (the one listed above) did not include any VBA components. I lodged a support ticket and was told to download pbda08110903en.exe from the old download site which fixed our issue with both SS10 and SS4.

Where can I find the pbda08110903en.exe file?
If you change the Bentley Downloads page to the old style, i was able to find it in there. I could not find it on the new style page at all.
Where can I find pbda08110903en.exe now? I'm having a problem with ss10 not running my vba also. The download site just shows ss10 files now. Do I need to uninstall ss10 before running this and reinstall? Any chance you could post a link? Thanks
Hello,
you could create a service ticket to ask for the version. And I would strongly suggest to uninstall the newer Versionen, if you try to install some older version. Downgrading is always tricky.
