If you are using the DYMO SDK from a .NET application you might run into a problem where the application throws an exception when trying to instantiate DymoAddin or DymoLabels objects. The error message is like this:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0×80040154). Retrieving the COM class factory for component xxxx failed due to the following error: 80040154
To fix this try the following:
- make sure you have the latest DYMO Label v.8 installed. The latest version is always available from the download section on dymo.com. currently the latest version is 8.2.2.996
- if you are running on 64-bit Windows make sure you compile your application as 32-bit (switch TargetPlatform from default AnyCpu to x86). See this and this. If you can’t change the TargetPlatform, try the beta SDK that adds 64-bit support
- reimport interop references to SDK libraries. Remove Interop.Dymo.dll from the project settings; add reference to “DLS7 Compatibility COM Type Library 1.0″ COM library; recompile your application.
