title: Server error - Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID failed due to the following error: 80070005 Access is denied
body: <p>I've been search on this question for hours and I've come up against a brick wall ...</p>
  
  <p>I have an application up and running on my localhost on a VM and actually, it's working but when I try and log in to the application I get the following server error message</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {9A4246A3-5CF7-4CD5-A3FE-D19B69BA1C26} failed due to the following error: 80070005 Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)).</p>

  <p>There's LOADS of similar questions like this on Stackoverflow but I can't find one similar to my problem.</p>

  <p>The issue seems to be with permissions in IIS - as far as I can tell my user has full permissions but as the other question above explained</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>From the Start menu, click Run and type Dcomcnfg.exe. </li>
  <li>In Component Services, click Console root, expand Component Services, expand
  Computers, expand My computer,expand DCOMConfig. </li>
  <li>Search for your object. Click on it.
  ... steps continue (see other question) but this is where things differ for me ...</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>So I'm search for a file here named <strong>9A4246A3-5CF7-4CD5-A3FE-D19B69BA1C26</strong> from my error message - the only problem is that it doesn't seem to exist ... ?</p>
  
  <p>So have I miss understood these answers or is there something strange going on here?</p>
  
  <p>Any advice to push me in a new direction to get this issue resolved would be very much welcome!</p>
