Add the dll as a COM reference to your project in Visual Studio

Hi Robbe,

Thanks for your quick reply..!

I have tried the same by using the below link

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms973800.aspx

I have taken a windows form application and added the vb6.0 dll reference to it. when running the project i got the below error .

Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {40E7D191-F9CF-4E09-97E3-A812ACBFDC60} failed due to the following error: 80040154
Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)). Any help will be appreciated..!

Thanks

regsvr32.exe "full path to and including your dll"

ex. regsvr32.exe "C:\temp\mydll.dll"

Sounds like the COM dll isn't registered on your machine.
