Do you have to run it as admin?

A quick search seems to suggest this has something to do with the mixture of 32- and 64-bit environments.

These links The Crazy 80040154 COM Class Factory Error[^] and Retrieving the COM class factory for component failed due to the following error: 80040154 [^] suggest changing your platform target from 'Any CPU' to 'X86'.

You can read Visual Studio .NET Platform Target Explained[^] for some information about the project platform.

Try it and see if this solves your problem.
