I am trying to use a VB.NET program we have which worked perfectly fine with Photoshop before it moved to CC. Now it hasn't been working and I'm not sure why. The problem it is having is with actually opening Photoshop. It throws an error for the line
PhotoshopApp = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Photoshop.Application"))
where PhotoshopApp is just a Photoshop.Application. The error I'm getting is
"Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {names the CLSID} failed due to the following error: 80080005."
Any help would be amazing. I don't know what changed in the Creative Cloud versions but it makes it much more difficult to work with.
