COM - Automation error. The system cannot find the file specified up vote 13 down vote favorite 1 I have a .NET 2.0 COM object that's used by VBA in Excel. It works fine on my dev machine, but when trying to use it on a clean VM workstation I get this error: Automation error. The system cannot find the file specified. The dll automation error in vba is registered with "regasm /tlb /codebase mycom.dll" and not put in the GAC. I don't have administration rights on the VM box Any ideas? .net excel com automation share|improve this question asked May 19 '09 at 9:18 ingt 91124 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 11 down vote You need to either invoke regasm with the full path to the assembly as the codebase parameter value or put the assembly into some location which is always on the path for searching libraries. 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 109k50317709 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

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.

I am accessing methods in a .Net dll by referencing its tlb in the macro of the excel. The tlb is created while building the .Net solution by selecting the "Regoister for COM Interop" option in the project properties. Both the dll and excel file have been undergoing changes and working perfectly for over six months. But since yesterday (after changing some code in the excel macro and referencing the newly build tlb), I am getting "Automation Error The system cannot find specified file." The method to create the tlb hasnt changed. I am at a loss as to why this error is occuriing. Any help in this regard is welcome.
