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. It could be some dependent assembly you're not at all aware of. Once you know for sure it will be much easier to resolve. –sharptooth May 20 '09 at 4:51 sharptooth, thank you very much for this answer.

Actually, Igot the solution for this by trying different command. the Solution is to use Regasm tool . It can be used in command prompt. the correct syntax is RegAsm C:\Folder1\MyDll.dll / tlb: mytlb.tlb. I am still trying to figure out some other ways so if you have a better solution, just let me know. cheers! 0 Write Comment First Name Please enter a first name Last Name Please enter a last name Email We will never share this with anyone.
