Quick Fix : OLE control or Automation server identified by GUID-{F9043C85-F6F2-101A-A3C9-08002B2F49FB} not found

If you are working with a version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, then most probably you might be familiar with below error message. 

This message is for C/AL Programmers:
Could not create an instance of the OLE control or Automation server identified by GUID-{F9043C85-F6F2-101A-A3C9-08002B2F49FB}.
Check that the OLE control or Automation server is correctly installed and registered.

GUID always helps to find the root cause for the issue. (Google GUID and you will get list of solutions)


In this case GUID {F9043C85-F6F2-101A-A3C9-08002B2F49FB} refers to the “Microsoft Common Dialog Control, v6.0″. 

This normally get installed and placed in below folder path : “C:WINDOWSSystem32comdlg32.ocx’ and C:WindowsSysWOW64comdlg32.ocx”

Fix:

  • Download “comdlg32.ocx” from here.
  • Copy downloaded file to below two folder path
    • C:WindowsSystem32
    • C:WindowsSysWOW64 
  • Run command prompt in administrator mode (Run as administrator)
  • Run below two commands in command prompt to register comdlg32.ocx
    • 1:  regsvr32 c:Windowssystem32comdlg32.ocx  
2:  regsvr32 c:WindowsSysWOW64comdlg32.ocx

    • After each command you will get individual confirmation messages.
