INET_E_CANNOT_INSTANTIATE_OBJECT

INET_E_CANNOT_INSTANTIATE_OBJECT is a URL Moniker HRESULT. It means that the URL Moniker layer could not create the object required to handle the resource. The underlying CoCreateInstance operation can fail because the class is not registered, unavailable, blocked by policy, incompatible or missing dependencies.

What to check

Check COM class registration, bitness, installation state and permissions for the required object.
Verify COM initialization and apartment requirements on the calling thread.
Inspect the underlying HRESULT where available rather than treating this as a network-only failure.
