Exception creating DIA object: [WinError -2147221164] Class not registered

[zobbo]

Hi,

I'm not a windows person but I am a python programmer. I'm trying to provide some assistance to the VirtualWindowsDesktopHelper project, most specifically this issue dankrusi/WindowsVirtualDesktopHelper#35 - as you can see I wondered if you're very useful utility might be of some help.

I've downloaded a copy of msdia90.dll and have registered it I believe but get the following.

C:\Users\icott\Downloads\GetVirtualDesktopAPI_DIA-master\GetVirtualDesktopAPI_DIA-master>regsvr32.exe c:\msdia90.dll

C:\Users\icott\Downloads\GetVirtualDesktopAPI_DIA-master\GetVirtualDesktopAPI_DIA-master>python DiaGetVDInfo.py
Exception creating DIA object: [WinError -2147221164] Class not registered
Try to regsrv32.dll msdia90.dll

The first line claims the dll is registered. I am assuming regsrv32.exe is correct (and not regsrv32.dll).

If you can give me any gentle pointers to what I should be looking for it would be very much appreciated!

I'm facing the same issue.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

I had the same issue, but was able to keep going after I reinstalled VS2008 redist package and ran C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe /i 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VC\amd64\msdia80.dll'

I am however running into an issue with getPDBURL where the URL it generates ends up being 404-ed by MS Symbol server.
