Help!! Problem instantiating WORD object using C#.NET

[Handy Mulia]

Hi experts,

I am trying to open the content of a WORD file from C#.NET which resides in
the REMOTE SERVER, however I get an error:
"System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Server execution failed"
when declaring new Word.ApplicationClass().

string fileName = this.btnWorkOrder1.Value;
object readOnly = false;
object isVisible = false;
object saveChanges = false;
object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
object dynamic = 2;

//error here:
Word.ApplicationClass oWordApp = new Word.ApplicationClass();

Word.Document oWordDoc = oWordApp.Documents.Open(ref file, ref missing, ref
readOnly, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref isVisible);


Does anybody know how to solve it? Please help!!!

Thanks alot!!!

The ASPNET (or impersonated) account needs to have administrative rights in
order for the thread to pass the security test. This is also a problem when
you try to instantiate excel object.

The easiestsolution would be- put your code(aspx file) in a separate folder
and add a web.config file there with appropriate credentials.

Hello Prodip,

you have to use dcomcnfg.exe to grant the appropriate launch/access rights
to the user for the word object AND all dependent objects (like document).
