HRESULT E_FAIL

I found a tutorial on how to use the ExternalInterface with
C# and then tried the one that is in the help file with
Javascript.. and its not working at all.
The Javascript (after just copying and pasting all the code)
gives me errors, and in C# (which is what I'm trying ot get it to
work with) gives me an "Error ERESULT E_FAIL has been returned from
a call to a COM component." error..
anyone know why this is? the one I've created and the
tutorial's source files both give me this. Its allways on the
CallFunction
I'm using VS2005 too

COM components must be registered with the O/S.

RDLC Reports with Custom Font - Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

Hi,
I got an ASP.NET MVC (Razor View Engine and C#) application running on a Windows Azure Web Role.
I use RDLC local reports to create pdf files with printable price tags with respective barcodes.
I got it working on Azure after installing the barcode font (TrueType) using a start-up task. Recently, it stopped working without me changing anything related to this functionality.
I'm getting the following error and so far I didn't find any solution. I know the problem is the barcode font because the pdf is generated well with a standard font like Arial. Also, it works perfectly with barcodes when running the app
locally on my computer.

Hi Vitor,
Thanks for your posting!
It seems that the error may have more than one possibilities. I recommend you could try to use the Azure remote debugger to debug your cloud service project on Azure instance. Please see this tutorials:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cie/archive/2014/01/24/windows-azure-remote-debugging.aspx
You could debug your code using the cloud service URL.
And you could enable the Diagnostics feature for collecting Logging Data by Using Azure Diagnostics (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/gg433048.aspx).

DPM 2012 UR3 Agent Update Error: HRESULT E_FAIL...DCOM Error

My DPM Server is Windows 2008 R2 SP1 with a locally installed SQL and DPM Server and fully patched. My Workstations are all Windows 7 Ultimate x64, fully patched. I have manually installed the DPM RTM Agent and pushed the UR2 update from the DPM Server
without any challenges or issues. I have SCEP running with process exclusions for the DPM services on the WS and DPM Server. I’ve been running DPM 2012 RTM and then UR2 without any issues or challenges to-date.
I have recently updated my DPM 2012 Server from UR2 to UR3 and pushed out all the Agent Updates, which appeared to go successfully from the DPM Console perspective. I spot checked a few systems, 1 workstation (WS) and 1 server, everything looked good. A
couple of days after this I noticed 2 of my workstations failed backing up to Tape. I noticed the recovery options available for these WS’s have stopped updating hours after pushing the UR3 Agent update. The 2 WS’s I'm troubleshooting have a little different
scenario. I have 2 other WS’s that were updated in the same manner and are working perfectly.
Both WS cannot connect to the DPM Server and displays this DCOM Error:
"ERROR:ERROR HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component."
The 1st WS DPM Client has a Yelow Sign over-lay and "Administrator has not configured backups." when you hover over it.
The 2nd WS does not the Yellow Sign over-lay.
All the properties of the Local DPM Client Console 'Summary and Protected item' tabs are not updated on the 1st WS but are on the 2nd WS.
1st WS process:
The Recovery Tab shows the available recover dates to choice from.
I can expand one of the backup dates, folders and copy a file to this system.
I can view my previous recovery Points from the console dating back to when I updated the Agents.
I’ve validated the DCOM settings on both WS's compared to a WS that is working, they are the same.
I uninstalled the agent manually, then copied and reinstalled the new UR3 Agent Version with the same outcome.
I uninstalled the new version and reinstalled the previous version, same error.
I then proceeded with upgrading UR2 agent version installing the UR3 version over the top, same error.
I logged on to this WS as the Domain Admin, removed and reinstalled the UR3 version, same error.
I removed, applied and then re-added the DPM server to the local WS DPM and DCOM Groups.
I removed, applied and then re-added the WS from the Groups on the DPM Server.
I’m able to see, ping and view other backup folders presented on the DPM server on this WS.
In the DPM Console I am able to connect to this Workstation successfully from the Administrative, Agent Space.
The DPMClientProtectionCurr.errlog file shows this repeatedly:

I also receive a different error message on this WS when I try and do a Sync Now from the General Tab: Failed to trigger synchronization.
I was able to perform a consistency check on this WS that completed successfully from the DPM server.
I’ve validated the networking configuration settings are correct.
I flushed local DNS cache.

Hi,
I have a Windows 7 x64 machine that exhibits this problem. It seems that it is not caused on the client side but on the server side.
In our case the server logs the following every time the client tries to connect:
WARNING   Verify disconnected client failed with exception: System.ArgumentException: Das Element wurde bereits hinzugefügt. Schlüssel im Wörterbuch: "<machinename>". Hinzuzufügender Schlüssel: "<machinename>".
(Translation: Element has already been added. Key in Table: "<machinename>". Key to be added: "<machinename>".
I have uninstalled the agent on the client several times. One time I have seen the following error message on the server side:
Deployment.cs(2815)           NORMAL   Removing all agent records for server[<machinename>] from table InstalledAgent.

Errors on the client side appear the moment the agent is re-added to the DPM server (I use "connect agent" instead of "install agent"). After that moment I get the message "Error connection to the DPM server. Error: a COM-component returned E_FAIL" every time
I open the DPM client. This is mirrored by the Verify error mentioned above on the server side.
To me it seems that parts of the machine config are still in the MSDB after removal (maybe caused by the registry error). If this client is connected again, the orphaned database entries cause the Verify error
If that's true, how could we get rid of those entries? Would it help to rename the client?

Ssis error: hresult e_fail has been returned from a call to a com component

I am using VS 2013 (BIDS) to develop SSIS packages. It is running on a windows 2012 server.
I have a dev server on which when i try to load an SSIS project using the solution file i get a bunch of errors, and then visual studio just closes. The error is:
hresult e_fail has been returned from a call to a com component
If i copy the project to another machine it works fine.
If i open VS first, and then open the project using the proj file, it seems to work.
Any ideas what might be causing this error? I can work for now, but am worried my project may be corrupted in some way so dont want to do too much work on it.

It might be a corruption so a re-install is desired. But
Use SSDT (VS2010 shell) that came with the SQL Server installation media to edit SSIS 2012 packages.

It appears hung. What do i do continue and how do i figure out what caused this?

Wasnt sure where to look in the event viewer. Any tips on where the errors would be?
It took a while but what i ended up doing was deleting the "bad" boxes. I am not sure how the got to their broken state.
I also could not delete them via the gui. I had to do it via powershell. It was odd i couldnt delete it with just the powershell command i had to pipe the resource like this
Get-ClusterResource | Where-Object {$_.name -eq "Virtual Machine ABC-VM22"} | Remove-ClusterResource

An error has occurred: Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component

This error message comes up with a user in InfoView attempts to modify/update a parameter when scheduling a report. This is not isolated to one particular report and occurs on a sporadic basis. Sometimes the user is able to successfully update the parameter with no error. Other times this error message occurs.
Has anyone seen this before and have any thoughts?
Thank you.

Hi Raja,
According to your description, this issue is more related to SQL Server. The SQL Server Integration Services forum is a better place for this issue, I will move it there for you.

But I want to known what is problem?
And also what is the Adobe COM connection between Acrobat ActiveX and my Application(C#, VB, etc…).
So Please give clear information and guidance...
Thanks & Regard

A simple google can get:
Common problems such as Windows Error Code 0x80040154 can be resolved with without too much difficulty. In this article we will go through solving the problem and how to prevent it in the future.
What happens
If you are registering an ATL server, you may see this error code. In the case of DLLs, regsvr32.exe will generate this error. In the case of EXEs, calling _Module::RegisterServer (CComModule::RegisterServer) in _tWinMain() will generate this error.

Flash ActiveX's CallFunction method always fails (E_FAIL)

Hi,
I likely have collected all information in the web, but still
facing the problem.
I am trying to
host the Flash ActiveX in a C# program and establish
two-way communication between the host application and the
ActionScript contained in my SWF file.
On the ActionScript side, I use the
ExternalInterface class.
On the ActiveX side, for callbacks, I use the
IShockwaveFlash::
FlashCall event, which
works perfectly in all host applications I have experimented
with. For direct calls, I use IShockwaveFlash::
CallFunction() method, which
doesn't work on some host applications (unfortunately those
I need). It
fails with COM error (HRESULT E_FAIL, "Unspecified error").
Here is what I have done so far:
1)
Installed the latest Flash Player 9, registered Flash9c.ocx
ActiveX.
2) Granted Flash
security permission to the folder where my SWF is located by
prescribing it in
"C:\Documents and Settings\myname\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust\myapp.cfg"
Before I did this, the FlashCall event caused a SecurityError
reported from the Flash player. So it makes me think that my
problem is
not a security issue any more.
3) Tested the SWF file
hosted in a browser (both IE and Firefox). The two-way
communication with JavaScript
works perfectly in both ways, so it means there's no mistake
in my ActionScript code, and the way I call ExternalInterface
methods is correct.
4) From JavaScript, I tried the following two ways of calling
the ActionScript function (called "Handshake") in the SWF movie
object:
// JavaScript code
// call directly
swfMovieObject.Handshake( "hello world" );
// call via CallFunction
swfMovieObject.CallFunction( "<invoke name="Handshake"
returntype="xml"><arguments><string>hello
world</string></arguments></invoke>" );
the both methods also worked perfectly, which means
the <invoke> xml string I am passing is correct.
5) When hosted in
VB6 and on MS Access 2003 Form, the CallFunction method
works perfectly.
6) Finally, the
CallFunction method fails to work when hosted in
Word 2003 document,
Excel 2003 worksheet,
VBA form in Word 2003 or Excel 2003, and also
in a C# program written in Visual Studio 2005.
I've seen others reporting this problem, but seen no
resolution so far. It may be that this problem occurs only on
some machines? For example, the sample .NET program here
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/media/flashexternalapi.asp?df=100&forumid=226349&exp=0&selec t=1518421
doesn't work on my machine, although it should have worked on the
author's machine.
Please help!

Just figured this one out. I'm using VC++ 6 with ActiveX Flash 10. The code snippets here will call the Flash function testFunction from VC++ using the CallFunction command and the appropriate XML. In VC++, make the following call assuming that m_flashGUI is the CShockwaveFlash object added to your dialog.
CString ret = m_flashGUI.CallFunction("<invoke name=\"testFunction\" returntype=\"xml\">"
     "<arguments><string>something</string></arguments></invoke>");
The key item in the xml string is the "name" parameter. It must match the name in the addCallback function in the Flash movie.
In the flash movie, have something like the following. The addCallback call is important. Without it the CallFunction from C++ will throw an exception.
// Import the flash items
import flash.events.*;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
// Associate the flash function with the external call
flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback("testFunction", testFunction);
function testFunction(str:String):Boolean
    // Do something here...
    return (true);
Good luck!

Printing Crystal Report to Printer from Windows Service

Hello Support,
We are currently using 13.0.3.612 version of Crystal report. We want to print the report to the printer from the windows service. For printing the report to the printer we are using the “PrintOutputController.PrintReport” method. At our end on the Windows 8 machine this method is giving following error:
Message: Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
StackTrace: at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintOutputControllerClass.PrintReport(PrintReportOptions options)
at PMLWLibrary.CrystalReport.LoadReports()
And on the Windows 7 machine the report is sent to the print spooler, however the report is not printed on the printer. Not sure what could be causing the issue. Can you please let us know what could be causing the issue.

Hi Brian,
Thank you for your response.
We tried running the service under the domain user account as well which has access to the printer, but even this fails. Further, from the regular .net application when we try to print the report to the printer, it directly prints the report without displaying any print window. So I assume that even from the service no print window should be launched. Can you please confirm on this.
We are attaching herewith the code snippet which we have used to print to printer through the service. Can you please review the same and let us know if we are missing something here.
Dim printReportOptions As New CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptions
Dim printOutputController As New CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintOutputController
Dim rptClientDoc As CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ISCDReportClientDocument
rptClientDoc = ReportDocument.ReportClientDocument
printReportOptions.PrinterName = "\\pc2\HP LaserJet 1015"
printReportOptions.JobTitle = [Enum].GetName(GetType(ReportNames), PrinterSetting)
printReportOptions.Collated = False
printReportOptions.AddPrinterPageRange(1, 1)
rptClientDoc.PrintOutputController.PrintReport(printReportOptions)

PDF file preview in windows 8.1 machine through my application

I developed an application which preview PDf documents. app is working in windows XP, windows 7 machines. But when i run the same application i got "Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been return from a call to a COM component".
Through my application i tried to create object of "Adobe PDF preview handler" CLASS ID = "DC6EFB56-9CFA-464D-44885D7DC193"
Is this handler wont support in windows 8.1?
Is source code available for this?
PS: I can preview the file throught windows previewer.

Hi,
Welcome to MSDN.
It seems that this is not the proper forum for this issue, since it is related to third-party.
I found a similar thread in the forums of Adobe
Adobe Community: Acrobat Reader 9.1 ActiveX control problems which shows that :
As for "HRESULT E_FAIL" message, all that was wrong was the "Display PDF in browser" option in
Adobe Reader preferences. It needs to be ticked. A bit weird but considering
that it uses the same OCX in a web browser, it makes some sense."
It seems that installing Reader 9.1 on my development machine and compiling a
new version of the application fixes the problem (at least the second one).
If still no helping, you could post this issue in the forum of that publisher to get dedicated support.
Thanks for your understanding.
Regards.

PDF preview in windows 8.1

I am facing a problem previewing PDF file from my application.
It was working find in windows xp and windows 7 machines, but showing error line "Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component" in windows 8.1 machine.
my application using "Adobe PDF preview for Vista" for PDF preivew.
i think my previewer is causing the problem, but dont know which preview handler me to use instead of "Adobe PDF preview Handler for vista"
please help me to solve this
ps: from my windows explorer i can see pdf preview.
Thanks
Rosh

After a close debug, i found that "doPreview" is crashing my application. Also the previewer assembly "PDFPrevHndlr.dll" is modified in Adobe Acrobat XI.
the modified "DoPreview" method now expecting 2 parameter (int, out int), after giving some values in it, it stops crashing, still my PDF preview not shown up.

Tables and views not visable in diagram organiser

HI
Opened my SSAS project and the tables are not visable in the Diagram Organiser.
When I right click on the pane and show all tables get :
Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to COM component
Then the tables appear without there relationships.
Cube still processes etc.
Any help please ?
BTW Just installed this on a new PC build.

Hi Bifool,
According to your description, the issue was solved when open this project in Visual Studio 2013, right?
SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI) for SQL Server 2014. So when you open this project in VS 2013, the project was upgraded to SQL Server
2014 version automatically which might solve this issue.
Besides, for the error
Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to COM component
It seems that it's a known issue, please refer to the links below.

WUO-714 when closing activex component

Hi,
I'm using client_ole2 for communication between our forms application and a third party software. Everything works just fine, except when the user hits the little cross to exit the communication process in the third party tool, then I get error WUO-714 followed by an WUO-706 error on my client_ole2.invoke_char call.
We're using Forms 10.1.2.02 and webutil 106.
Apparently there is no way to trap this error, because it's messaged to the user inside the bean instead of being raised to the pll. This means that we're stuck for the moment.
Does anyone have a clue ? Is there a patch available ?
Kind Regards,
Michael

OK, no one responsed to my questions but I found answers for them so I thought I might put them here for those interested.
As for "HRESULT E_FAIL" message, all that was wrong was the "Display PDF in browser" option in Adobe Reader preferences. It needs to be ticked. A bit weird but considering that it uses the same OCX in a web browser, it makes some sense.
As for the memory issues message, I need to unload libraries manually before exiting the application (as suggested in some other thread in this forum):
<DllImport("ole32.dll")> _
Friend Shared Sub CoFreeUnusedLibraries()
End Sub
Me .AxAcroPDF1.Dispose()UnmanagedCode.CoFreeUnusedLibraries()

HRESULT E_FAIL
