I am writing an ASP.NET/C# application and having trouble with outlook. I
keep receiving this error.

Exception Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Retrieving
the COM class factory for component with CLSID
{0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error:
80040154.

Source Error:

Line 1196: {
Line 1197: // Create an Outlook application.
Line 1198: Outlook.Application oApp = new Outlook.ApplicationClass();
Line 1199:
Line 1200: // Get the Mapi NameSpace and the Logon.


I do not know how to fix this. Please help!

Where is this code running? Normally ASP.NET code runs on the server and
unless you have Outlook installed and configured on the server the code
would error.

If the code is running on a client where Outlook is installed then you have
to verify if script code can run on that computer, if the code has to be
signed and designated as safe for scripting and safe for initialization.

Currently I have it running on localhost (my machine) and Outlook is
installed. The code ran a couple of times an then this error appeared.
When I run this code in debug mode I do not recieve this error. I have
checked the regedit CLSID and the default value is not set. I am not sure
what else to do?

I mean the regedit CLSID default value is set to OUTLOOK.EXE. When I
typed the path in the Run dialog box Outlook came up, so I assume that the
path is correct.

You will probably need to set security on the application, sign it and
install it for it to run in non-debug mode, but that's a question for an
ASP.NET group that deals with deployment. I don't do much ASP programming so
I don't have an answer for that.

Do you have scripting enabled in your browser and other conditions set so
ASP code can run?

When you do deploy you will need to account for all the things I mentioned
and run the code client side unless you only want to access Outlook
installed on the server.

I think she means that both the IIS and server and the client are on the
same machine.
Since this is C#, and IE does not run any .Net code the way it runs VB and
Java Scrips, I suspect that the code is actually executed in the IIS server
context (which is a service), and no Office app (inclusing Outlook) should
be used in any Windows service.

You want:

= new Outlook.Application();

not

= new Outlook.ApplicationClass();
