We have written a web application to read ms-word document using microsoft interop assembly. It is working fine as the developement server has got ms-office installed. The application is not running on the production server where ms-office is not installed and getting error message:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80070005

We have only limited access to our production server

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you

If you are using Microst Interop Assembly then you need to install MS-Office in your production server. Because Interop assembly is a wrapper of COM object (in this case MS-Word) which will provide the access to the MS-Word application.

Also you can read/write Word 2007 Format (.docx) document using OpenXML SDK, which does not require MS-Office installed in the box.
