ActiveX component can't create object: 'Illustrator.Application'
We recently upgraded to CC 2019. version 23.0.6.
Vbscripts are now unable to execute. They fail on:
Set appRef = CreateObject('Illustrator.Application')
with the error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Illustrator.Application'
This functionality is important to our workflow.

Found a resolution to this problem.
This is nowhere in the documentation( tx adobe!) , but references must be as follows for vbscript success in CC 2019:Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application.CC.2019")
Set appRef = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application.130")
