Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {4C2901D1-5354-11D4-A6F9-00508B4ACA2C} failed due to the following error: 80040154

Question

I was trying to execute an executable, but got error message:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {4C2901D1-5354-11D4-A6F9-00508B4ACA2C} failed due to the following error: 80040154.

this exe comes along with 4 dll files in its own folder:

ATTPRV32.dll
Csta32.dll
Interop.AXS_INPROCLib.dll
Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll

I've tried to register each of these dll files but got the same error message:

.DLL was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found

Stack Overflow is about programming problems. Is your executable something you've written? Can you tell us more about it? — sherb, Oct 20 '14 at 02:44

It means the class: 4C2901D1-5354-11D4-A6F9-00508B4ACA2C isnt in the registry plain and simple.

I used this method to registerred 2 dll files of the 4 successfully, but the error message remains the same... – user2709608 Oct 20 '14 at 08:19
