  hi..
  I was trying to create a Window Media Server by using C#. So, I went to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms741122(VS.85).aspx to start. I gave me a simple code of how to create a server as the following:
  
  

  using System;

  using System.Collections.Generic;

  using System.Linq;

  using System.Text;

  using Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices;

  using Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop;

  using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

  namespace CreateServer

  {

  class Program

  {

  static void Main(string[] args)

  {

  try

  {

  // Create a new WMSServer object.

  WMSServer Server = new WMSServerClass();        //Error here!!!

  }

  catch (COMException comExc)

  {

  // TODO: Handle COM exceptions.

  }

  catch (Exception e) {

  // TODO: Handle exceptions.

  }

  
  After I complied, it didn't gave me any error or warning. However, after I started to run the program it gave me a runtime error
  
  System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException <0x80040154>: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {845FB959-4279-11D2-00805FBE84A6} failed due to the following error: 80040154.

  My computer is running Windows Vista Home Premium with VS 2008. I previously installed windows media services SDK from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F26B1AA4-741A-433A-9BE5-FA919850BDBF&displaylang=en#Instructions
  
  I added microsoft.windowsmediaservices.dll (ver: 9.0.0.3693) from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v5.0\Include\microsoft.windowsmediaservices.dll
  
  I am not sure if there is a conflict between dll component. I noticed that I have 2 different version of microsoft.windowsmediaservices.dll in my computer (9.0.0.3693 and 9.0.0.3665).
  
  
  If anyone got any idea of how to solve this problem, please let me know...
  
  Sorry for bad grammar
