PROBLEM:
On one of our machines, if you go into Tools | Import Activex Control you get an error 4398 with errorcode 0x80040154 and there aren't any controls listed. Do you have any idea of what we can do?
ANSWER:
The error you get tells that the virtual machine could not instantiate a COM object. The reason is shown as the errorcode 0x80040154. This error code can be looked up in WINERROR.H (part of Visual Studio) and shows as:
//
// MessageId: REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG
//
// MessageText:
//
// Class not registered
//
#define REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG _HRESULT_TYPEDEF_(0x80040154L)
This means that you did not have registrered A COM control. If you get the error in Studio the reason could be an unregistered COMCLSGEN.DLL. Try to register the DLL. Do this by opening a CMD window: navigate to the BIN directory and register this component with REGSVR32 and try the import activex control again.
