COM Class Error while accessing Outlook in VB.NET

[COM Class Error while accessing Outlook]

I have windows service developed in VB.net. When service try to create object
for Outlook it throws error like 'Retrieving the COM class factory for
component with CLSID {0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the
following error: 80070005.'

Could you please help on this..?

And can you suggest me how to configure Outlook item in DCOMCNFG. I could
see excel and word in DCOMCNFG except Outlook.

There should be an entry in the registry with the following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0006F033-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

If not then its probably worth re-installing Outlook.

I couldnt find Outlook in my DCOMCNFG either, so you are not alone. Could be
that it is no longer a DCOM application.
