WinCE barcode scanner - COM Exception when initializing CCoreScannerClass

Question

I am following this tutorial (https://atgsupportcentral.motorolasolutions.com/content/emb/docs/manuals/14978403a.pdf), created a simple Windows Forms and successfully can debug it on the scanner (it's a Symbol MC3000). However I am getting an exception when trying to initialize the CCoreScannerClass:

        //Instantiate CoreScanner Class
        CCoreScannerClass cCoreScannerClass = new CoreScanner.CCoreScannerClass();

The exact error message is this:

"COM object with CLSID '{9F8D4F16-0F61-4A38-98B3-1F6F80F11C87}' cannot be created due to the following error: 0x80040154."

Can anyone please provide some help? Since it's a COM exception, I assume it's because the class is not registered? Any ideas on how to fix this?

Many thanks.

I got it working by downloading the EMDK for .NET from the Motorola's website:

Be aware that the installation of the EMDK requires Visual studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008. At least, I couldn't install it with my VS 2010 saying he couldn't find it. – Carl Bosch Sep 07 '15 at 19:40

0x80040154 is an error that, as you mentioned, pertains to the COM class not being registered, which means that COM couldn't find the class factory in the Windows registry. You can use C:\Windows\system32\regsvr32 to register the missing SDK DLL.

I get an error - The module was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that it is a valid DLL. – AdrianM Aug 22 '14 at 17:29

I got it working after the installation of the Scanner Management Service https://portal.motorolasolutions.com/Support/US-EN/Resolution?solutionId=87864&productDetailGUID=f0acd085364cf310VgnVCM10000081c7b10aRCRD&detailChannelGUID=84a76e203763e310VgnVCM1000000389bd0aRCRD
