Default Automation Error with Office



I am trying to get a program to run that uses the Automation Server to
access Powerpoint. It has worked before, but now I get the error message:

Runtime error -2147221163(80040155)

Automation error
Interface not registered


I tried already to reinstall Office with no success. Any hint what it
could be?

It is a VB6 program that tries to automate Powerpoint 2000
I am running Windows 2000 SP4, I reinstalled Office 2000 and tried with
SR1 and SP3, always with the same result. I tried to write new code and
tried a tool that worked before, both time the same error. I also
deinstalled Norton Antivirus since I read that the Script Blocking could
interfere with that. Still I have no sucess yet. Any clues?

Sounds like some required library isn't registered/ installed on the target
machine.

Shouldn't office take care of that after a reinstall? Or is there
something missing in the operating system? What to do except of
reinstalling windows (Which would be several days of work with all the
programs I have).

Depends entirely on what objects the developer may have used. You'll
probably want to contact the application developer. If you are the developer
then from the VB6 IDE Tools|References and make sure all exist and are
correctly registered on the target machine.

I have the problem with both, an application that was running before and
an own development where I have the code. But the thing hangs on the
first line when instantiating Powerpoint. The reference in VB6 is done
correctly, so it must be a problem with Office or the OS. But how do you
troubleshoot that and find out what is wrong with Office?

Better to ask them in one of the VB groups.
