OWC11 & Error: 80040154

[DoctorDotNet]

I am having a frustrating experience with OWC11 right now!!!

I have 2 scenarios with OWC11:
Scenario 1: Running my web project in Visual Studio 2005 to display a graph.
This works great!!!

Scenario 2: Publish my web project to the same local machine, then access
the site directly from the browser. I recieve this error:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID
{0002E55D-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error:
80040154

I am running:
Vista x64 Home Premium
Visual Studio 2005
SQL Server 2005 Express
Office Web Controls 11

I hope someone can help me!

download and install the regmon utility from microsoft.com. Before that you
may want to either re-register OWC at a command prompt or search the
registry for the clsid. If these fails, regmon will tell you what the issue
is.

Alvin,
Thanks for the note. I have uninstalled and re-installed OWC to no avail.
Your recommendation is to use regmon. Wasn't this replaced by process
monitor in Vista?

Also, if OWC was not registered properly, then why would it work in Visual
Studio under debug?

Use regmon or whatever's clever for your OS. The reason I recommended
registering is because it solves about 80 percent of cases. I wanted to
cover those cases first. Also, the error code indicates a registration issue
but you will have to look at regmon to see if there are any access issues
with OWC.

Tried to unregister then rgister OWC11 to no avail.

I have installed the Process Monitor for VISTA and see what I find... There
seems to be a ton of information logging very quickly. Any tips on what to
look for would be appreciated.

Alvin,
I solved the problem. IIS6 on Vista 64 can't load 32-bit ActiveX dlls. I
had to run the following command to get IIS to run as a 32-bit application..

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:applicationPools
-applicationPoolDefaults.enable32BitAppOnWin64:true

Thanks for all your help!!!
