Good Day. I have a COM dll which registered using regsvr32 utility. When I tried to add reference to a project, the library is visible in reference list but when I press OK button the error occurs (STG_E_PATHNOTFOUND). Also popup hint on reference in browser shows correct path and dll not moved anywhere from it's registered location. Project and dll have same x64 bitness.

StackTrace

Error   1   The "ResolveComReference" task failed unexpectedly.
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: The path  could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80030003 (STG_E_PATHNOTFOUND))

  • It looks like it is failing to find the type library. Have you registered that too? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4527213/how-to-register-a-legacy-typelib-tlb-on-windows-7 – Ben Feb 09 '16 at 11:38
  • Maybe the type library refers to another type library that cannot be found. Use Tlbimp.exe instead, you'll get a better error message. And OleView.exe to see what the type library looks like. – Hans Passant Feb 09 '16 at 12:32
  • I resolve problem by creating wrapper for this COM library using tlbimp.exe utility and made a reference to this wrapper instead of COM directly. – Дмитрий Смирнов Feb 16 '16 at 12:40
