I am trying to connect to an instance of Graybox Simulator on a server, but it is failing with the following message:
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'OpcRcw.Comn.IOPCServerList2'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{9DD0B56C-AD9E-43EE-8305-487F3188BF7A}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)). at Opc.Server.Connect(URL url, ConnectData connectData) at Opc.Da.Server.Connect(URL url, ConnectData connectData) at Opc.Server.Connect()
Server info:
Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
64-bit Architecture
URL I’m trying to connect to:
“opcda://localhost/Graybox.Simulator”
I can browse the OPC server just fine using Matrikon OPC Explorer:
I’ve tried playing with the DCOM settings. I’ve tried installing, uninstalling, and re-installing multiple versions of .NET API Redistributables and Core Components.
Running out of ideas.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Greybox obviously does not support the new IServerList2 interface.There should be an option that forces the API to use the old IServerList interface but I can’t recall at the moment.
Thanks Randy. Not sure exactly what the problem was, but I fixed it by installing another version of OPC redistributables.
