title: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {XXXX} failed due to the following error: 80080005
body: <p>What is the troubleshooting process for the "Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {XXXX} failed due to the following error: 80080005" errors in .Net? To clarify: I am getting this at runtime, on my XP machine, with client being .net code running under admin account. {XXXX} refers to one of our in-house COM components. </p>
  
  <p>From what I understand, 0x80080005 refers to "permission denied", but where do I go to check/change the permissions? Or am I completely wrong here, and the error is coming from the component itself, and not out of Windows COM subsystem?</p>
