Using vs2008 .NET 3.5 SP1
I am trying to use an ActiveX dll in my c# console application project and I am getting this runtime exception:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800702E4): Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {4E58088E-7275-4EAA-8958-A9CCC971DDE9} failed due to the following error: 800702e4.
How do I go about finding out a solution to this issue?
I have used regasm.exe to register to DLL previously and it registered successfully.
name of DLL is interop.sterling.dll
simple code:
using SterlingLib;
public class OrderPlacer
{
private void SendOrder()
{
var order = new SterlingLib.STIOrder();
}
}
I added the reference to this DLL by browsing to it and adding it as a reference - then placing in the /bin/debug
folder
using reflection:
SterlingLib.STIOrderClass is a class whose base class is System.__ComObject
It implements the following interfaces
SterlingLib.ISTIOrder
SterlingLib.STIOrder
SterlingLib.STIOrder is an interface
I am running Vista so I think this may be a UAC issue not allowing full rights unlike it would if I was running XP.
0x800702e4 suggests that the process must be run with elevated privileges.
