OWC11 Install / Registration issues

[Ed]

On my development machine (WinXP), I downloaded and installed the OWC11.exe. I then created an ASP.NET page that references/imports the OWC11 item. I create a spreadsheet in the code, pipe it out as XML content into another web page that contains the <OBJECT> tag with the OWC11 control to display it. This all works.

I then copy the OWC11.exe to another system, and run it to install on a Win2K Server. Install completes. I then copy my project over to this new system, and attempt to run it. I receive an error stating the the OWC11.ISpreadsheet failed. So, I attempt to manually add the OWC11.exe items into COM+. RegAsm doesn't produce an error. But, no dice. I go into Component Services to manually add the dll to COM+. They all fail to load, saying that the registry failed. So, I attempt to REGSRV32 the dll. Again, I get the dllseverregister error 8002801c

This system "had" the OWC10 controls on it, and working fine...until I went in and screwed them up. Yeah, I know...don't yell, please! LOL. I really want to upgrade them to the OWC11 control. And, when I modified an old ASP page to use the CreateObject("OWC11.Spreadsheet") that fails with the error "Library not Registered

I've checked the registry. There are entries in it for the items (clsid: 0002E559...). I've made sure that "Everyone" has read access to them. I ran regmon when I tried the RegSrv32 on the dll. I've captured a little snipped of it, in case that'll help anyone.

Does anyone have any ideas

Thanks
E

find the owc11 dll and re-register it at the command line using the provided
regsvr32 utility. You cannot tell if the object is properly registered just
by looking at registry keys because you don't necessarily know which ones
are missing.

I have tried that. . I get the message
"DLLServerRegister in owc11.dll failed. Return code was 0x8002801c

Every where I searched on the next for that error code, it states to give "everyone" read permission to the key. But, "everyone" has access to the key, the best I can determination

I've tried it from the Start--Run window, and from the "cmd" window

[Alvin Bruney [MVP]]

you are a local adminstrator on the machine in question i assume?
And you have access rights to the particular registry key i assume?

well actually i know you don't have rights to the registry key in question
because it is throwing an exception. Get the regmon utility available from
system internals here. Run this utility and it will tell you which key is
denying access. attempt to uninstall the owc11 dll before you start regsvr32
/u owc11

I had ran RegMon, and copied a section of the code in my original post

I am uncertain as to what I'm looking for here. I only have two results: "NotFound" or "Success". I think there was one Buffer Overflow. But nothing appeared as having a Permission denied result

Please advise what I should be looking for

Thanks again for your help

Ok i looked at the regmon snippet. The owc11 is definitely not installed
properly from the notfound clsid errors.

Try this exact sequence:

regsvr32 /u owc11
remove the owc11 AND owc10 (and owc9) on the computer by using the owc setup
utility
reboot the computer
install the owc11
fire the page. if it works add back owc10 (if you have it)

I performed the tasks below, as you asked. I purposely did not try to re-install version 10 at this time, as I would like version 11 working

The web page is showing the grid properly, when using the <Object classid="clsid:002E559....... > command. However, the ASP.NET page that I have running, which Imports the OWC11 library and does nothing more than import a CSV file and export it out as XML to a HttpContext.Content="XML" page is still failing.

The exact error message I am receiving has not changed:
QueryInterface for interface OWC11.ISpreadsheet faile
