Office Automation - Powerpoint in VB.Net

Hi

I tried to do the Powerpoint presentation using VB.Net 2.0. I got error while creating the object of the Powerpoint.Application

Unable to cast COM object of type 'PowerPoint.ApplicationClass' to interface type 'PowerPoint._Application'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{91493442-5A91-11CF-8700-00AA0060263B}' failed due to the following error: Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801D (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED)).

Can any one tell me the solution for this error.?

Ganesh.

Hi Ganesh,

The error indicates that the PowerPoint.ApplicationClass was not registered on the running machine properly. A COM class needs to be registered in the registery to make it identified. The register process is done at the installation phase of Office.

So you can try to repair the installation of PowerPoint or make sure it is installed properly.

Further more, in an ASP.NET application, server side automation is not supported. Here is a KB article about this.

Hope this helps.

OleDbConnection via MS REMOTE -> "Specified cast is not valid. "

Hi everyone,
Im using the following conn string in asp.net 1.1 using vb.net:
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection("Provider=MS Remote;Remote
Server=http://myintranetserver/; Remote Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.
4.0;Data Source=c:\pass\be\quiz.mdb;uid=;Password=;")
Whenever I execute rs.executereader,
I will receive "Specified cast is not valid. "
There's nothing wrong with the sql statements.
if i change my conn string to:
' Dim conn As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.
4.0;Data Source=c:\pass\be\quiz.mdb;User Id=admin;Password=;")
Then the script will have no problem!
Pls advise.,
Thanksif the server is on the same network - instead of the Http://, use a UNC
format in the path, like:
\\Servername\yourpath\your.mdb
