Hi,

Are you using the 64-bit version of DCOMCNFG.EXE? On x64 operating systems from Windows XP to Windows Server 2008, the 64-bit version of DCOMCNFG.EXE does not correctly configure 32-bit DCOM applications for remote activation. To correctly configure 32-bit DCOM applications for remote activation, follow these steps:

From a command line, enter the following:

C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64>mmc comexp.msc /32

You should be able to see "Microsoft Word Application" in the list. If the entry is still missing after taking this step, you can also try further steps in the following blog article:

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Steve Fan
