Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {BDEADF26-C265-11D0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F} failed due to the following error: 80040154

I got this error while trying to debug a console application accessing SharePoint Portal Server 2010 in Visual Studio 2010.

Resolution: It is because you are trying to build a x86 application. Go to project properties and set type to x64 everywhere. Then rebuild and debug. The Error Vanishes!

  2. Right click on the ProjectName >> Properties >> Build tab >> Platform target >> Select
    "Any CPU". (By Default, its x86)
