Vba Automation Error The System Cannot Find The File Specified
COM registration fails: “Automation error: the system cannot find the file specified”, when installing dll into other folder than the 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 automation error the system cannot find the file specified tlb 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 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

Automation Error In Vba
Forums V > Visual Basic Interop and Upgrade Question 0 Sign in to vote hi guys, this too is in relation to this thread.i'm having problems running the vb6 app, and the error occurs when i http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11673878/com-registration-fails-automation-error-the-system-cannot-find-the-file-speci make the form show. i've followed the instructions from the help file and still the problem arises everytime.here's another weird thing, when i added the interop form to an existing vb6 application, it was ok when run inside the ide. when i compiled this to an .exe file, the error happened. i also tried creating fresh vb6 app and it worked, so any ideas on this issue? thanks.dave.

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.

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. Reply With Quote Mar 10th,
