DCOM client is situated under WIN server 2012, DCOM server is located under WIN XP. When I call CoCreateInstanceEx it returns 0x80040155 "Interface not registered".

Actions that were already performed:

  • Register COM classes on the serverside via MyApp.exe /regserver
  • Checked the registry (on server side) if the appropriate APPIDs and interface CLSIDs are there.
  • Configured DCOM on the server side via DCOMCNFG (based on this link )
  • Also enabled DCOM on the client side via DCOMCNFG
  • Enabled DCOM event logging via ActivationFailureLoggingLevel and CallFailureLoggingLevel registry keys -> no errors found in event log.
  • Though I've performed above steps I still the 0x80040155 error code from CoCreateInstanceEx.

    Is there a way to enable additional DCOM tracing on the server side, to get more information why 0x80040155 is returned?

    Any additional hints to get rid of this problem?
