COM Creation Problem
-
Hello, I have the following method to help me in installing some COM components onto the machine...below is a snippet that is causing the problem...
Type objType = null; COMAdminCatalog objCatalog = null; COMAdminCatalogCollection objApplicationsColl = null; COMAdminCatalogObject objApp = null; try { objType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("COMAdmin.COMAdminCatalog"); objCatalog = (COMAdminCatalog)(System.Activator.CreateInstance(objType));It is part of setup application...so when I run the setup on my machine, it works fine.... However, when I try to test it on one of our servers.....I get a Specified Cast is Invalid exception from this line objCatalog = (COMAdminCatalog)(System.Activator.CreateInstance(objType)); I am guessing its a problem with either one of the last two line....forgive me, im new to COM Thanks in advance -

Did you verify that
objTypeis correct on the server? Is the COM class registered correctly on the server?Regards, mav -- Black holes are the places where god divided by 0...
