Hello,
I am creating a simple application that enables merging of key-value pairs fields in a Word and/or Excel document. Until this day, the application has worked out just fine. I am using the latest version of .NET Framework 4.0 (since it provides a nice wrapper API for Interop). My sample merging method looks like this:
public byte[] ProcessWordDocument(string path, List<KeyValuePair<string, string>> kvs)
{
logger.InfoFormat("ProcessWordDocument: path = {0}", path);
var localWordapp = new Word.Application();
localWordapp.Visible = false;
Word.Document doc = null;
try
{
doc = localWordapp.Documents.Open(path, ReadOnly: false);
logger.Debug("Executing Find->Replace...");
foreach (Word.Range r in doc.StoryRanges)
{
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, string> kv in kvs)
{
r.Find.Execute(Replace: Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll,
FindText: kv.Key,
ReplaceWith: kv.Value, Wrap: Word.WdFindWrap.wdFindContinue);
}
}
logger.Debug("Done! Saving document and cleaning up");
doc.Save();
doc.Close();
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(doc);
localWordapp.Quit();
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(localWordapp);
logger.Debug("Done.");
return System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(path);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Logging...
// doc.Close();
if (doc != null)
{
doc.Close();
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(doc);
}
localWordapp.Quit();
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(localWordapp);
throw;
}
}
The above C# snippet has worked all fine (compiled and deployed unto a Windows Server 2008 x64) with latest updates installed. But now, suddenly, I get the following strange error:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80080005): Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80080005 Server execution failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080005 (CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE)).

I googled the COM error, but it returns nothing of particular value. I even gave the right permissions for the COM dll's using mmc -32, where I allocated the Word and Excel documents respectively and set the execution rights to the Administrator. I could not, however, locate the dll's by the exact COM CLSID given above. Very frustrating.
Please, please, please help me as the application is currently pulled out of production.
