RobotStudio .NET exception: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with...

RobotStudio

First of all, hi to every one on the forum. I’m new one to ABB robotics, (most of my career was in yellow and blue team. :slight_smile:
I installed trial version of RS2019 on my computer. No issues, but when I tried to create a station with one robot and virtual controller, the VC starting process stopped and return an error as below:

*RobotStudio .NET exception: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {F56E57E2-6B24-48A7-BF56-1D4BE32339F4} failed due to the following error: 80080005 Server execution failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080005 (CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE)).*

I installed RS on the other PC (similar spec, newer CPU) and have exactly the same error. I search for the error “80080005 Server execution failed…” and found that some people had the same server error with Excel. I tried to follow suggested solutions but they didn’t work.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

How did you go about creating your station and virtual controller?

Did you use create from layout, manually create your virtual controller and then add it to the station…?

Hi graemepaulin,
I use New/Stations/Solution with Station and Virtual Controller. I tried to create stations with robot IRB 1200 5kg and IRB 120 3kg and Robotware 6.10.00.00

4

Try it step by step to see where the error occurs in the process:

  1. Create the solution with empty station

  2. Add a robot from the ABB library button (LH end of ribbon in home tab).

  3. In the virtual controller tab (just along from the above button), select from layout - you can add the options you want in the controller as one of the steps

5

This way is the same. Virtual controller has been created, in the Solution folder Virtual Controller folder with the content is present. Next step: Start the controller fail and return the error I posted in my first post. Always the same on both computers. This COM class ID: CLSID {F56E57E2-6B24-48A7-BF56-1D4BE32339F4} is not created in the register or component services.

Check that the system has been built correctly by using installation manger to open it and check the options.

7

I did it, and still the same.

I have had issues with the virtual controller if they not in the default directory.

Failing that create a scan file as per below:

Then send it to your local support - who can be found at this link:

This error means RobVC.exe could not be started. The type of robot or controller options etc. have no impact on this.
I would recommend to reinstall or repair the installation as a first step.

Something you could test is to download the latest PCSDK from http://developercenter.robotstudio.com/downloads_pc
and try to install the ABB Robot Communication Runtime.7.0.8617.559.
Make sure that it is running as a service in Task Manager.
For some users this component has failed to install.
