title: SQL Server Merge Replication error
body: <p>I am getting a very strange error message at one of our client sites and I am having very little luck trying to figure out what is going on.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Hr=80040154 ERR:OpenDB failed getting
    pub version 28627</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>That is the error message that is from the Merge Agent (IIS) logs.  From what I can tell, it is a COM error not being able to load a specific COM object, but I don't know which one.  From that, I think this client might not have something installed, but I don't know what that something.</p>
  
  <p>Does any one have any thoughts about what might not be installed?  Any other ideas on how to troubleshoot this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
