Class not registered Syncfusion.GeckoHtmlRenderer.Base

[Erin Ashcroft]

HI Guys

I have been hunting for a solution to this but with no luck so far

I am deploying the website on a windows server 2012, the website runs fine on my local machine (syncfusion essential studio instaled) but when I publish it to the server it doesn't and I get the following exception:

Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))

at System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.CoCreateInstance(Guid& clsid, Object punkOuter, Int32 context, Guid& iid) at System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.CreateWithLicense(String license, Guid clsid) at System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.CreateInstanceCore(Guid clsid) at System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.CreateInstance() at System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.GetOcxCreate() at System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.TransitionUpTo(Int32 state) at System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.CreateHandle() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible) at System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.EndInit() at Syncfusion.GeckoHtmlRenderer.GeckoHtmlRendererControl..ctor() at CM_OnlineClaims.DocumentConverter.generatePDF(String html, String filename, String path) 

I know that this is to do with the assembly not being registered but I did install the same essential studio on this server and I can see the assemblies on the GAC folder. Also I am deploying the application with the target CPU set to x86.

I am running out of options here, Do I need to have visual studio installed on the deployment server??

Cheers

Hi Erin,  

 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.  

 

We suspect that the problem occurs due to the Gecko wrapper was not installed your machine, could you please try the below steps and let us know if you have any questions.  

GeckoWrapper.dll requires ATL90.dll & msvcr90d.dll to be present in the machine. You can get those assemblies by installing VC++ 2008 (SP1) Express edition in the machine.  

Here are the steps to follow:  

1. Install Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition with SP1.  

2. Copy the XulRunner-2.0.sdk (shipped with install – {Installed Drive}:\Program Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\{version number}\XulRunner-2.0.sdk\bin\) to the server.  

3. Register the Syncfusion.GeckoWrapper.dll using the following command in command prompt:  

regsvr32 Syncfusion.GeckoWrapper.dll  

 

Thanks,  

Karthik.

Hi, i have the same issue except from within visual studio 2015. ive just installed syncfusion essential studio latest version and it will not create any templates. i selected syncfusion asp.net web site and got the error mentioned above. See attached screengrab. I followed the instructions above , installed vs2008 c++ sp1 express and manually registered (reported as successful) from the xulrummer subdir as that was already on my windows 7 X64 development pc. i thought it might be related to service pack so at this point i have installed:

2016 Vol 3

14.3.0.49

Sept 28, 2016

Download links and details

14.3.0.52

Oct 27, 2016 

However i cannot even create a template in visual studio. any help appreciated!

thanks
