'Zis code
Code:
struct OleManager
{
Ole() { OleInitialize(); }
~Ole() { OleUninitialize(); }
}
manager;
IID clsid;
if(FAILED(hr = ::CLSIDFromProgID(L"Excel.Application", &clsid)))
{
// Error handling
return 0;
}
IDispatch * excel;
if(FAILED(hr = ::CoCreateInstance(clsid, 0, CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER,
IID_IDispatch, (void **) &excel)))
{
// STOP 0x80080005 CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE
return 0;
}
In the Event Viewer, I can see this entry:
[code]The server {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.[/cide]

But got nothing. I've even seen http://blogs.msdn.com/adioltean/archive/2005/06/24/432519.aspx and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/174024 and more, but they don't 'seem' to apply (I did still try their suggestions) I can't tell what could possibly be the source of this problem.
