RE: 'Library not registered' error creating word.application

Hello John,

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you get the error:
2147319779 when the vb6 code runs to Set wd = New Word.Application. Office
2007 was once installed on the pc, then it was removed and replaced with
office 2003. If I'm off base, please feel free to let me know.

As we know, the error 2147319779 means 'Library not registered' according
to the KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/186063. Because the pc
was once installed with Office 2007, my suggestion is:
#1. please check the references of the vb project (menu:
Tools->References). Has it referenced to the correct Word library:
Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library? (11.0 is the current version of Word in
your computer)
#2. If suggestion #1 does not help, I think you need to re-register your
Word 2003 dlls. You may go to Start: Run, and type:
c:\path to your word 2003\Winword.exe /r
This will cause Word to rewrite all of its registry keys with their default
values. When you've done that, double check the Word reference in the vb
project, then try the code again.

If both the suggestions cannot help to resolve the problem, would you tell
me the type of your customer's site? Is it a Retail Solution Site?

Sincerely,
