WebKit 0.5 COM error: 800736b1

[Emmanuel]

My project is using WebKit and works fine  on dev machine (windows 7).
Now I want to deploy my app in windows xp where VC2010 runtime is installed and the following exception is thrown.

"Retrieving the COM class factory component with CLSID {D6BCA079-F91C-4EIE-B453-32A0477D02E3} failed due the following error: 800736b1"

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800736B1): La récupération de la fabrique de classe COM pour le composant avec le CLSID {D6BCA079-F61C-4E1E-B453-32A0477D02E3} a échoué en raison de l'erreur suivante : 800736b1.

Any Idea ?

I just ran into the same issue and was able to fix it by downloading the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 runtime libraries with ATL security update (x86)" from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=2051a0c1-c9b5-4b0a-a8f5-770a549fd78c

I was able to fix my issue by running vcredist_x86.exe. This runtime is actually listed as a requirement at

http://webkitdotnet.sourceforge.net/reqs.php

but unfortunately the connection to the rather cryptic "800736b1" error is not mentioned.
