Windows services and GetObject

[Andrei Prodan]

Hi everyone,

I have a small piece of code which uses GetObject function
and it is working fine in a windows application developed
under .NET

In a windows service application, the GetObject function
returns an error: "Cannot create ActiveX component"

Does anyone knows why ??

Thank you very much,
Andrei

Its most likely a permissions problem. Install the service to run as your
user account and see if that helps.
