COM object with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} is either not valid or not registered

asp.netms-office

In my application there is a functionality to show an excel sheet.Due to some reason we need to uninstall Microsoft Office.
Now the above functionality is not working and I am getting following error.

COM object with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} is either not valid or not registered.

Any Ideas how do I resolve this without re-installing Microsoft Office?

Given that you've uninstalled Office the COM object you need will be unregistered.

The only way is to either reinstall Office or install the Office Tools Runtime

From the error you get I assume that you are using Word 2003.

Have you made sure that the COM brigde service is correctly installed and running?

combsvc -install
combsvc -start

will register combsvc as service and then start it.

Please also have a look at the example for Word at the bottom of page 150 in the ALBPM Reference Guide.

The fact that it is sometimes working and sometimes could be an issue with ALBPM. Are you using the latest version and updates?

Another option - and quite frequent problem with Word automation - would be that the automated instance of Word is displaying a modal dialog box and is waiting for user interaction. You can switch of the display of modal dialogs by setting

Application.DisplayAlerts = 0

However, this will unfortunately not prevent all popups from being displayed.

Is there actually an instance of Word started? If so, can you make the Window visible and see if documents can be opened or if there is a popup blocking the application?
