Solution 1

If there's a HRESULT involved, it's probably a COM dll. Is it registered ?

Solution 2

Build a tlb file for bass.dll and then include the tlb file in your project. [^]

hi, Well there may be several reasons causing this error but for this how it was solved:

in my project the engine part was a dll, written in c++ lets call it the NINJA dll. and the GUI written by C#. everything used to work fine until I made a lot of change in C++ converted to dll tested in a simple GUI, and still every thing is fine. but as I add the NINJA to my previous GUI i got this error.
I fixed problem firstly by adding all the dlls to debug folder and adding them by refrence to the C++ project where ninja is built. and I also all these dlls to debug folder of GUI plus adding them by refrence to the GUI project. problem solved

DLLs list:

dwmapi.dll
phymem.sys
pmdll.dll
RCX4f.tmp
wdapi811.dll
windrvr6.inf
windrvr6.sys
winIO.dll//add this if you get error "file does not exist" from inner exception
winIO.vxd
xpdemok.sys//U always need this one I guess

hope this helps....
