I am attempting to leverage the functionality of Microsoft XML Core (MSXML4) to communicate with some secure servers.  My issue is that when I move my module to a "production-like" environment (windows 2000 advanced server) I get the following error;

Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {88D969EA-F192-11D4-A65F-0040963251E5} failed due to the following error: 80040154.

The functionality that the COM object provides is mission critical.  Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Ok,

So I switched the module to use msxml6 instead.  Again everything works as expected on my local development machine.  On the 'production-like' server, however, it doesn't compile.  Here is the error message.  Any ideas?

Compiler Error Message: BC30002: Type 'XMLHTTP60' is not defined.

Source Error:

Line 295: ''' <remarks></remarks> Line 296: Public Function CommitTransaction() As Response Line 297: Dim conn As New XMLHTTP60 Line 298: Dim toSend As New StringBuilder("") Line 299: conn.open(CommunicationType, URL, False, Nothing, Nothing)

Is it possible that even though the server has .Net2 installed MSXML6 is not?  For information I am importing the following namespace: Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.MSXML6

Thanks again,

Steve

It appears that the only thing I forgot to do was ensure the Microsoft.SqlServer.msxml6_interop.dll was wrapped up in the module to be placed in the bin directory of the server.

Thanks for you help,

Steve
