I've been playing with Bot-Kit, under both Dolphin 2.1 and Dolphin 4.0.
I get the above error on one particular machine, under both versions of Dolphin. I did a fresh install of Windows 2000 on that machine, and it didn't change anything. Still get the above error on that machine. My other machine works fine. I also get the exact same error on the bad machine if I do: 'IDispatch example1'. During 'IDispatch example1', the stack is as follows: OLELibrary(ExternalLibrary)>>invalidCall OLELibrary>>CLSIDFromProgID:pclsid: CLSID class>>fromProgID: For 'RCX new', the stack is as follows: OLELibrary(ExternalLibrary)>>invalidCall OLELibrary>>coCreateInstance:pUnkOuter:dwClsContext:riid:ppv: ISpirit class(COMInterface class)>>onCLSID:outerIUnknown: Anybody got a clue as to why I'm getting the "HResult Error:Class not registered(FACILITY_ITF)"? Thanks, Nevin Pratt |
Hmmm, another thing is happening on that "bad" machine that I think is
related. When I attempt to install the "Dolphin Plugin 4.0 for Netscape", it errors out as follows: Error 1904. Module C:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\Plugins\NpDolphin.DLL failed to register HRESULT -2147024770. Contact your support personnel.

I'm sorry if this sounds facetious, but "Because the class is not registered". This is one of those relatively rare Microsoft errors that actually means what it says. It occurs when either the class has not been registered (by its installer or manually using RegSvr32.exe), or because it is failing to register. The most common reason one comes across for a COMponent failing to register is that the DLL is failing to load due to a missing dependency. Microsoft have an excellent utility which is very useful for diagnosing this sort of problem, namely Depends.exe. When run against the offending OCX/DLL/EXE it will highlight any problem(s) in red. Its part of the Platform SDK and also the Resource Kits. Try http://www.dependencywalker.com With regard to your follow up posting, it seems likely that the same missing dependency is causing a problem for the plugin installation too. One can use Dolphin's capabilities to decode that HRESULT easily enough: HRESULT fromInteger: -2147024770 "a HRESULT(0x8007007E - The specified module could not be found.)" Regards Blair |

I grabbed Depends.exe, and dropped the Dolphin plugin DLL on it. It complained about a missing 'MSVCP60.DLL'. I found that DLL on my other computer, and copied it to C:\winnt\system32, then rebooted (to be safe). Then the plugin installed OK without errors. However, it did not solve the other problem. "IDISPATCH example1" (in Dolphin 2.1), and "IDISPATCH example3" (in Dolphin 4.0) and "IDISPATCH example4" (in Dolphine 4.0) all complain as before. So does the Bot-Kit (in both Dolphin versions). I click "Debug", and select the highest stack frame. It shows as: an OLELibrary(16r77A50000 - 'C:\WINNT\system32\ole32.dll') Thinking the dependency problem might show in the 'Depends.exe' program with the 'ole32.dll', I open it in the 'Depends.exe'. It doesn't show any problems. Nothing in red. Next, thinking the "class" that has not been registered is probably named FACILITY_ITF, I conducted a fruitless search via 'Depends.exe' on various DLL's in an attempt to find one that uses FACILITY_ITF, even though I really don't have a clue what FACILITY_ITF really is. Anyway, it's still broken. But, I'm still poking around trying to find the problem. Nevin Pratt |

Those examples may well not work if you don't have those components on your machine (examples 3 and 4 in D4 require Microsoft Office since they are examples of automating Word). Have you tried re-registering the Spirit.ocx (using RegSvr32.exe)? > > I click "Debug", and select the highest stack frame. It shows as: > an OLELibrary(16r77A50000 - 'C:\WINNT\system32\ole32.dll') That is presumably because the failure to create the object, due to its class not being registered, is in a call to CoCreateInstance (or CoGetClassFactory). It doesn't mean the problem is in ole32.dll. > > Thinking the dependency problem might show in the 'Depends.exe' program > with the 'ole32.dll', I open it in the 'Depends.exe'.

It is unlikely any pre-reqs of ole32.dll are missing - it is pretty fundamental, and Windows won't work without it these days. > > Next, thinking the "class" that has not been registered is probably > named FACILITY_ITF, I conducted a fruitless search via 'Depends.exe' on > various DLL's in an attempt to find one that uses FACILITY_ITF, even > though I really don't have a clue what FACILITY_ITF really is. FACILITY_ITF is a "Facility Code" (i.e. an error classification), not a class. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/com/error_5g6r.htm for a better explanation. Regards Blair |

Oh, yea. Of course. When I re-installed Windows 2000, I never reinstalled Office. So, I just did it, and it works. > Have you tried re-registering the Spirit.ocx (using RegSvr32.exe)? Bingo again. I believe the original install must have been interrupted or something. Thanks again. Nevin |
