Creating an instance of the COM component with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} from the IClassFactory failed due to the following error: 8001010a.

What I have tried:

added thread.sleep and tried to convert windows service from mta to sta but the issue still exists. Please let me know how to check if it a server configuration issue.

Solution 2

The problem is that you're using an Office application in a non-user-interactive environment. You can NOT use Office Interop in web applications or window services. If there isn't a user logged into the console and using your application, Office Interop cannot be used.

The problem is that Office applications do not support re-entrancy. That means it cannot handle multiple requests at the same time.

Yes, the excel automation perfectly works in Production environment. We are working on implementing new changes and deploying the code on test server, we are facing this issue. Is this due to server configuration?

Dave Kreskowiak 3-Jul-17 10:52am

Ummm...perhaps you didn't read my post. YOU CAN'T DO THAT. Sure, it may work now, but this is the problem you run into with using Office Interop in a web application. It can and will STOP WORKING at any time.

This is not a server configuration issue. This is a "rewrite the code" problem to remove all dependencies on Office applications. Depending on what your doing with it, you can probably get away with using the OpenXML SDK or the ClosedXML SDK to do your Excel work.

Use a library that doesn't rely on automating Excel. For example:

* EPPlus[^];
* ClosedXML[^];
* The OpenXML SDK[^];

As suggested by Richard I am using EPPLUS. But can u tell me how to access excel vba macro in c# using EPPLUS? OR tell me what are all the other ways to access vba macros in c#. Basically I want to get the macro vba method input parameters as per the given method name. I have used Microsoft.vbe.interop(VBIDE) to access vba components but getting 8001010a ICLASSFACTORY COM errors.

Dave Kreskowiak 6-Jul-17 8:28am

I have no idea as I've never used EPPLUS, or if it even supports getting at the VBA code. This is where your research skills are going to come in.

Solution 1

COM is sometimes weired and you must stick to the error message. My best guess is that you have another instance running as descibed here from a MVP or some issues with Norton virus scanner.

Take a look in your task manager to ensure that no other Excel instance is running.

Why arent you doing it in this manner?

Even I have tried Marshal.ReleaseComObject(workBook) as well but these also didn't help. Finally created Killexcepprocess method and killing the excels if any excel process is stuck due to failure in generating the report.
As per the error, I agree that the error is saying excel is busy. But my Question is
why it is busy?, and how can i know what is running in the back
ground?. the thing is in my production computer the application works
perfect. i am thinking it is an issue of some kind of configuration in
server (office excel or firewall or antivirus softwares) a
please any suggestion is appreciated
