Hi, I am trying to use a few COM assemblies. They are the Office PIAs. Here is some info about the specific assemblies: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=59DAEBAA-BED4-4282-A28C-B864D8BFA513&displaylang=en I am getting this error when I host the site on DiscountAsp.net: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80040154. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80040154. I think the cause is that the assemblies need to be registered. I have copied the files locally to the bin, but that doesn't seem to matter. Is it possible to register the COM assemblies using DiscountAsp.net? Thanks, Noel
Yes,these components need to be registered . DASP does have Office Web Components installed on their servers.The component you are referring is not supported.Also,DASP does not register components for individual customers. What are you planning to do exactly? Vikram DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
Thanks for the response. I wrote a webapp that reads information from various files (xls/xlsx/doc/docx/ppt/pdf/txt,etc) that internet users upload. The Office PIAs are designed specifically for this sort of work (as well as other things). I don't need to display or make any changes to the files. Regards, Noel
Hello Noel, I am in a similar situation and Discountasp.net has refused to register the PIA COM. How did you manage to resolve this ? Thanks Debendra
I am having the same issue, using GMaps for google maps API from http://googlemaps.subgurim.net/ and I added it as reference and register it in my BIN but am still having issues Could not load file or assembly 'GMaps' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. any ideas !!
A lot of things can cause this error message. Do you have a link you can give us to see whats going on?
I was able to track down a ticket that maybe related to this community thread. I believe your account is 'alblowe.com'. Check your hosting control panel and make sure that the subfolder your application is upload in is set as an application directory.
