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 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.

COM is not able to find your component in the registry. Here are some of the resolutions http://hoy-sala.blogspot.com/2007/11/automation-error-system-cannot-find.html you can try- Enable Register for COM interop in the project http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?561154-COM-interop-automation-err-in-VB6-Dev-environ properties windowThis use to be enough in .Net 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 automation error recompile the project.If you are still having the problem, try registering the component 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, the system cannot then your component also need to be signed with the same key and versioned the same. Otherwise you will 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.

I have built these with the swithes for 'COM Interop'. I move this DLL from my VS2008 machine to my VB6 dev machine; run regasm xxx /tlb; and then write a little sample program to test the DLL. The significant parts of the program program are: ------------------------------------------ << reference is added to the dll>> Public M10 As Mar10Class.Mar10Class Private Sub cmdMar10Class_Click() Set M10 = New Mar10Class.Mar10Class M10.HelloMsg ("Mar10 class Msg from VB6 ") End Sub --------------------------------------- If I compile the program, it behaves as expected, but if I try to run it in the dev environment, it gets Automation error The system cannot find the specified file The error happens on line "Set M10 = New Mar10Class....." I have thried this with 4 test dlls. The first one I wrote works in both the comile and dev mod. All others only work in compile mode. I moved one of the test projects to another machine that had the VB6 dev environment and on that machine none worked in the dev environ (and all worked when compiled). I can't see anything in the .net source code or project properties that would make a diference. Can anyone shed some light? Much appreciated.
