Re: org.jawin.COMException: 8002802b: Element not found.

I finally solved the problem.  It was a version conflict.  I do not
understand how COM entries work in the registry at all.  I searched for the
GUID of the library that was created from typebrowser which lead me to
another CLSID or GUID... whichever it is.  Under the referenced ID was a
folder tree for 2 different versions.  There was an old version listed for
an old quickbooks version that had been uninstalled a while ago.  Anyway in
common files the QBXMLRP.dll was referenced and was an old version.  I ran
typebrowser on the new QBXMLRD.dll file in the program directory, the only
one I knew existed at the time.  Somehow windows chooses a path when
referencing that GUID but it followed a path back to the old version of
file.  I replaced the version of the old file with the new version and now
everything works.  So old registry entries pointing to an old file are
followed when referencing a newer installed file with a new GUID. I have no
idea how it all works.  How can I be sure removing an application removes
these old entries?  I have a feeling that if  this program is used on a
computer that had ever upgrade then it will have the same problem.  Well
thanks to everyone for all the help.  I truely appreciate it.
