ComException - Retrieving Com Object Class Factory Error

L

Laura Kay

I am automating a Powerpoint presentation via .NET. About once a week, my
program suddenly stops working, and comes up with the error "Retrieving the
COM class factory for component with CLSID
{2206CDB2-19C1-11D1-89E0-00C04FD7A829} failed..." Several times, Microsoft
Outlook stopped working at the same time that this error occurred. I did
some Googling for the answer - and saw that it sometimes is caused by another
process running at the same time. In order to make sure this wasn't
happening, I checked for all running PowerPoint processes. I'm honestly not
sure what is causing this, and I don't want the error to pop up once this is
in production. Please let me know of any suggestions or comments you may
have regarding this. All help is appreciated!

Thank you!
