Otherwise it will not be found when the client tries to instantiate the COM object. share|improve this answer answered May 19 '09 at 12:09 sharptooth 109k50315704 I did try using regasm on the full path of the assembly which is located in c:\temp, but still the same error –ingt May 19 '09 at 14:07 1 Then I guess your best bet is to start ProcessMonitor - technet.microsoft.com/ru-ru/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx - and look what file exactly is not found.

Wednesday, August 29, 2007 3:09 AM Answers 0 Sign in to vote Hi Dave, When you ran it as an .exe file did you have your .NET Dll in the same directory? On https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7c5c16d7-4029-4b6f-9a29-55a1c27718b5/error-2147024894-80070002-automation-error?forum=vbinterop a target machine you need to run regasm (with /codebase if you want a relative path). If you have a dependency on stdole.dll, do you have that in the GAC? (If you don't have it referenced in your .NET project then don't worry about this one). Hope that helps, let me know if you're still having issues with it.

tips & solutions from a community of 418,436 IT Pros & Developers. It's quick & easy. Interop call P: n/a Tim I have a vb6 Exe. I need to call a C# dll's methods from the VB Exe. I have used RegAsm to register the C# dll. If the VB6 Exe and the C# dll are in the same folder, then everything is fine. But I want to place them in different folders. When I place the VB6 Exe in a folder called 'A' and the C# dll in a folder called 'B', the VB6 Exe throws the following error when it tries to invoke the c# dll's method. -2147024894 - Automation error. The system cannot find the file specified. What do I have to do to make it work? Dec 22 '05 #1 Post Reply Share this Question 6 Replies P: n/a Vadym Stetsyak Put the asm in the new folder and reregister it. When you register dll, actually you register a COM component ( VB6 sees your dll as a COM ). Registration means that appropriate aliases a placed to the windows registry. You can think of alias as GUID <-> assembly path. -- Vadym Stetsyak aka Vadmyst http://vadmyst.blogspot.com "Tim"
