Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 8007007e.

Have a VB.8 apps that access both Outlook and Excel.

Both app work on the PC on which they were developed - they do not work when installed on the target Server – have even installed VB.8 on the server and re-compiled solution there – complied OK

For the sake of brevity, let's focus on Outlook alone - Code:

    Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook

    Private m_objApplication As Application

    m_objApplication = New Application – this line errors off with the 8007007e error

    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook = 11.0.0.0 (actually 11.0.5530.0) -- Token = 71e9bce111e9429c

I have read the questions on this site and I realize that an 8007007e is because the Object is not being instantiated

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook was in the assembly but not on the C: drive - loaded Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook from my PC on the server and ran a GACUTIL on it with both /i and /if options – same error – the utility says it has been added

Checked the shred DLL's in the registry and Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook was not there - loaded it from a CD - it's now there but still did not work with and without running GACUTIL – regsvr32 does not work on Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.DLL

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Realize this is not that difficult but in a time crunch hence the 250 pts.  Thanks
