Make sure that you have started the toolset with the /Automation parameter, i.e. toolset.exe /Automation for Gen 7 and coolgen.exe /Automation for Gen 6.5
One possible cause is that the Gen runtime file wru650n.dll is not correctly registered. If you did not have the gen runtimes registered on your workstation, the Console Setup program will have registered wru650n.dll from the GenRtm directory. Either re-register your copy of the Gen runtime or register the GenRtmwru650n.dll using regsvr32.exe.
