log parser error

Question

I have never used log parser before.. well I am getting this error now.. i don't know the reason..

Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {8CFEBA94-3FC2-45CA-B9A5-9EDACF704F66} failed due to the following error: 80040154.

can ya help me out with this.. :)

Answer 1

The error code means the class in not registered. Running the following command will probably solve the problem:

regsvr32 <path>\LogParser.dll

If you move the DLL around (install it with your app, for instance), you'll have to repeat the call each time. Or, if you'd like to install it from your app, you can call the exported DLLRegisterServer, which is what regsvr32 calls.
