If the version is 16.X and 64-bit check the following

  1. The following registry key exists
    • HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Classes\TypeLib\{000020905-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\8.7\0\Win32
  2. The MSWord.olb defined by the (Default) value does NOT exist
    • for example ... c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Root\Office16\MSWORD.OLB

Resolution

If the OLB does NOT exist then the solution is to rename the Win32 to something other than Win32, e.g.
  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Classes\TypeLib\{000020905-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\8.7\0\_Win32
