Problem creating Active X Server 'Google Earth Com Server'

I have tried starting an actxserver on Matlab 2014b running on 64bit Windows 8 with Google Earth and Google Earth Pro installed with the following code;
handle = actxserver ('googleearth.Application')
But I receive the following error;
Error using actxserver (line 90)
Server creation failed. Invalid ProgID 'googleearth.Application'.
This method successfully works on a different computer running Windows 7 with Google Earth and Google Earth Pro installed although.
Does Google Earth use a different ProgID on Windows 8? Or is there something else I am missing out on? All and any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!!
