Greetings,
    I have a VB.NET application that references a 3rd party Com component. The file is<font color="#ff0000 Interop.WINTSRRLIB.dll.</font><font color="#000000 My VB.NET application has a project reference to the COM comonent which lives in the directory:  C:WaveTracker.</font>
    The application runs fine. When I sent it to my customer, he installed in on his desktop machine. It runs fine. Then he copied all of the application files (which live in C:WaveTracker) to his laptop. However, on his laptop, he gets the error:
"System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154). Retrieving the COM class factory for component xxxx failed due to the following error: 80040154"
    The customer swears he has the .NET 2.0 Framework installed properly on his laptop. Any ideas on how I can get over this problem???
Kind Regards,
 
Scott
