I'm having trouble. When I try to create a new Excel/Word project in VS
2005, I get an error and the project does not get created.

Error is: "The specified module could not be found. (Exception from
HRESULTS: 0x8007007E)".

I also get this error when trying to open previously created projects.
The one thing that has changed since I last tried to work with VSTO
projects is install the developer version of SQL Server and IIS on my
computer.

I've tried doing a repair on Office, VSTO and VS. I also downloaded and
installed (repair mode) vstor.exe. So far nothing has worked.

My next option is to uninstall everything (VS, VSTO, IIS and SQL
Server) and reinstall. I'm running WinXP Pro.

Are there any suggestions I can try before having to
uninstall/re-install?

Thanks!
Rayne

You need to run this to repair vsto
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VSTO\8.0\Microsoft Visual
Studio 2005 Tools for Office Runtime\install.exe

I do a lot of vsto development and have to run it once a day. You will then
have to restart your computer. Big pain.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work. I ran it then
restarted the computer and I'm still having the same problem. It won't
read existing projects and won't create new projects.

I guess my next option is to uninstall VSTO and then re-install it and
hope that works.

I had an error where I could not create a project and no one, not even
Microsoft could figure it out. So I went here:
Control Panel-->Administrative Tools-->Component Services-->DCOM Config-->
Visual Studio 2005 I right clicked to get properties and then played around
with the options in the security tab. BAM! I was then able to create office
projects

Thanks for the suggestion, but I still am not able to create nor open
Office projects, even after I set full control to everyone. Just not
sure what is going on nor what to do about it. it's very frustrating.
