Why is CoCreation of a COM+ component failing with 0x8007007e "The specified module could not be found"?

I have a COM dll that is working fine as an in-proc server and I install it in Component Services COM+ Applications. Now when I try to CoCreate it from my client app, I get HRESULT 0x8007007e "The specified module could not be found". What could be causing this?

Solution

  • The dll was registered on a ClearCase dynamic view, similar to a mapped drive, not available to COM+. Solution was to move the dll and the proxy/stub dll to a local drive and register them there.
