COMException (8004014) using ShockwaveFlashObjects in VS2008 on Vista x64

comflash

I'm trying to embed a Flash object in my app. I've added a reference to the ShockwaveFlash COM Object but the app fails at instantiation:

ShockwaveFlashObjects.ShockwaveFlashClass shockwave = new ShockwaveFlashObjects.ShockwaveFlashClass();

With the following error:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException : Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000} failed due to the following error: 80040154.

I'm running Vista x64, could that be the problem?

Anyone experience this before? Any ideas how to fix this error?

80040154 is REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG. Most likely, your code runs in a 64 bit process but Shockwave is only installed for 32 bit.

First: Please check on your test server the registration of your com objects.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{xxxx}

Check, if your dll or exe file is on the correct location on the hard drive.

R – log parser error

The error code means the class in not registered. Running the following command will probably solve the problem:

regsvr32 <path>\LogParser.dll

If you move the DLL around (install it with your app, for instance), you'll have to repeat the call each time. Or, if you'd like to install it from your app, you can call the exported DLLRegisterServer, which is what regsvr32 calls.
