Printing Word document from .net service in windows 2003 server er

[Sai Vajja]

Hi All

I am trying to print a word document from my windows service (VB.NET) but am
getting the following error:

Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID
{000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error:
80040154.

Any idea what needs to be done here?

Hi Michael

I have a windows service that i developed using vb.net running on this win
2003 server that does the printing to a network printer. The idea is to
enable this service to print various documents (.txt, .xls, .pdf etc.)
I am able to produce prints onto this network printer from this service if
it is a image or a text file. But, when it comes to word documents, i am
getting this error (and i think this will be true for excel as well).

Same code works fine from my development machine (XP professional).

Google for 80040154 - apparently it's a registry permissions "error".
