COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ

COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ is the failure HRESULT 0x80110426 (signed decimal -2146368474, unsigned decimal 2148598822). Its severity bit is 1, facility is 17 (FACILITY_ITF), and the facility-specific code field is 0x0426.

COM+ component-file analysis: exact meaning of COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ

COM+ loaded the DLL but could not obtain a class object from it. Component inspection calls the module class-factory path, commonly through DllGetClassObject, and that stage fails.

AllStat records this condition as “GetClassObject failed in the DLL”.

Where COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ occurs

This HRESULT is raised while COM+ inspects a proposed component file for classes, type information, and class factories before it can create usable catalog components. In the specific case of COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ, record requested CLSID, DllGetClassObject result, exported entry points, registration/type-library class list, and binary version.

Evidence to collect before repair

Collect exact file path, hash, PE architecture, and signature when diagnosing COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ; without it the symbolic HRESULT is underdetermined.
The COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ investigation needs loader diagnostics and dependent-module list so the exact failing boundary remains reconstructable.
For COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ, preserve type-library LIBID/version and declared coclasses; it anchors the failure to the real administration object.
Evidence for COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ should include DllGetClassObject behavior for the expected CLSIDs, captured before a repair changes state.

Diagnostic sequence for COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ

The next COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ diagnostic action is to prove the deployment selected the intended binary.
To isolate COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ, resolve loader and dependency failures before registry changes.
For COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ, compare type-library declarations with implemented class factories.
At the COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ boundary, rebuild binary and metadata from one source revision.
The next COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_GETCLASSOBJ diagnostic action is to rerun InstallComponent and inspect the resulting Components collection.

Practical administration scenario

A DLL exports DllGetClassObject but returns CLASS_E_CLASSNOTAVAILABLE for a CLSID declared in the package.

Retry and recovery

Use a binary that implements the declared classes and repair the package metadata before reinstalling.

Difference from nearby COMADMIN results

COMADMIN_E_COMPFILE_CLASSNOTAVAIL means the DLL lacks classes listed by the type library; this value focuses on obtaining the class object.
