Whenever I try to create a new WMSServer() in VS i get
error message:
COM object with CLSID {845FB959-4279-11D2-BF23-
00805FBE84A6} is either not valid or not registered.

I've already used regasm and regsvr32 to register the
microsoft.windowsmediaservices.dll
Using VS 2002 and Win XP Pro
Tried everything! Any info please help.

You're running Media Services on a 2003Server, not an XP box, right?

If so, have you tried running the code on the 2003Server computer under an
account with adequate permissions to manage the Media Services?

take .Net out of it for a second.

create a text file named "darnedserver.vbs"

open the file in notepad and stick this in it (obviously changing the
address/name argument to your server's):

Dim RemoteServer
set RemoteServer = CreateObject("WMSServer.Server", "[server ip address or
name]")
MsgBox(CBool(RemoteServer Is Nothing))

save, close & doubleclick on the file.

Still getting the error? re-reg the typelib file (RegSvr32 "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SDK\include\wmsservertypelib.dll")

Try the vbscript again.

I just added it to another machine and that was pretty much it. To use it
in VS I had to do that and set the project reference to "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SDK\include\microsoft.windowsmediaservices.dll" to get the
namespace but once both files were registered it at least got the server
object.

hope that helps somewhat.
