Ms Access Automation Error. The System Cannot Find The File Specified
tlb file up vote 3 down vote favorite We have a COM component (let's call it MyLib) developed in VB.NET, for our Access application (let's call it MyApp) to use. In order to do that, we need to do COM registration using the generated MyLib.dll and MyLib.tlb files. When I am installing both files into our MyApp's folder, everything is working fine, the COM function is invoked correctly. However, I am having an regasm codebase error mentioned in the title when I am installing the dll into a common folder - the reason I am doing it is because we want to allow different versions of MyApp to be installed on the same machine. So if the COM component doesn't change, we of course want to share it among these different versions and let Windows do the reference count. I am not sure where I should put the MyLib.tlb file, either in MyApp's installation folder, or the same common folder as MyLib.dll. But anyway, I tried both locations, and they all gave the same error. I tried to compare the registry files between the case when I put MyLib.* into MyApp's folder, and the case when I put MyLib.dll into common folder. I can't see any difference except of course the CodeBase of the Class I am trying to register under HKCR\Wow6432nodes\CLSID{MYCLSID}\InprocServer32. Another thing I don't understand is there is no sub-key named TypeLib under HKCR\Wow6432nodes\CLSID{MYCLSID} in both cases, which in my understanding is the way to link the TypeLib to the dll (but why is is still working when I put tlb and dll into the same folder?) since in MyApp it only knows that there is a reference we add by reference of MyLib.tlb. I don't understand exactly how COM re

COM is not able to find your component in the registry. Here are some of the resolutions you can try- Enable Register for http://hoy-sala.blogspot.com/2007/11/automation-error-system-cannot-find.html COM interop in the project properties windowThis use to be enough in .Net https://community.microstrategy.com/t5/Miscellaneous/TN34917-quot-Automation-error-The-system-cannot-find-the-file/ta-p/185454 1.1 /VS 2003 to get the component registered. But in .Net 2.0/VS 2005, Microsoft introduced another way to specify the COM visibility. That is by introducing a new attribute [assembly: ComVisible(true)]. Add this attribute to your AssemblyInfo.cs file and recompile the project.If you are still having the problem, try registering the component automation error explicitly usingregasm c:\abc\abc.dll /tlbsometimes the /tlb option does the trick.If this doesn't fix the problem check the version number of the component on which your component depends on. If the components, on which your component depends, are singed with specific key and are of specific version, then your component also need to be signed with the same key and versioned the same. Otherwise you will system cannot find get the same automation error when loading from the component from a COM client. In .Net2.0 you update the AssemblyInfo.cs to update the version number and sign the componente.g.[assembly: AssemblyVersion("x.x.x.x")][assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("x.x.x.x")][assembly: AssemblyKeyFile(@"your_key.snk")]Hope this helps.
