hi guys,
this too is in relation to this thread.
i'm having problems running the vb6 app, and the error occurs when i make the form show. i've followed the instructions from the help file and still the problem arises everytime.
here's another weird thing, when i added the interop form to an existing vb6 application, it was ok when run inside the ide. when i compiled this to an .exe file, the error happened. i also tried creating fresh vb6 app and it worked, so any ideas on this issue? thanks.

Hi Dave,
When you ran it as an .exe file did you have your .NET Dll in the same directory? On a target machine you need to run regasm (with /codebase if you want a relative path). If you have a dependency on stdole.dll, do you have that in the GAC? (If you don't have it referenced in your .NET project then don't worry about this one).
Hope that helps, let me know if you're still having issues with it.

hi jonathan,
i had a fun time trying to figure out the problem, and yes i even tried your solution before. something must've been wrong with either my vs2005 or vb6 installations, because at one last desperation attempt, i reinstalled everying and it worked. thanks for the advice.

I am having a similiar issue even though I followed all the stepw above. The I do get the com error when I run regasm from the project run when build successful ( vs 2005). If I do the steps manually then I get the error when I run the app, which is avba app in excel 2003;
This is my post build step in the project.
tlbexp.exe $(TargetName) /out (TargetName).tlb
C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727/regasm.exe /verbose $(TargetPath) /tlb(TargetName).tlb

hi asparihar,
are you running your solution on a different pc? do a regasm on your .dll and .tbl files to avoid receiving this error

I ran into this exact same problem. I was loading a .NET COM visible assemby via a Late Bound COM call from VB6. Use the "\codebase" argument in my REGASM registration command line script fixed this problem for me.
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm.exe MyDotNetComDLL.dll /tlb:MyDotNetComDLL.tlb /codebase
