Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM visual studio while creating a file (vs 2022)

Hello I need your help with this problem of mine, when I try to create a new project in Visual Studio from ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework) >> MVC >> Create it will show the error "error hresult e_fail has been returned from a call to a com component"

I tried reinstalling the IDE, and I had the same problem. Restarted my computer. I tried deleting the .vs folder, but I had the same problem. Double checked the file location for the downloaded cache (I don't know if this will matter?)

Hello @Rin,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

May I first confirm following things:

If you try to create another type of project, for example, a simple C# console app, will the same error appear?
Does this error appear on .NET(like .NET 8) projects?
If you change to target other versions of .NET Framework(like 4.7.2, 4.8), will the error appear?

As you have reinstalled the IDE but the error persists, I think this issue may be not caused by VS, but by cache, system environment, frameworks or some configurations. Try following:

Run Visual Studio as administrator and create an ASP.NET Web application, but this time save it into another short, empty directory(like C:\MyProjects), see if this works.
Rename following folders => C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_xxxxxxxx\ComponentModelCache, %Temp%(you may need to reboot your machine and then rename the Temp folder).
Update Windows OS.
Open CMD as administrator, run DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth, after it finishes running, run sfc /scannow.
If you modified any Windows Registry keys, changed any system environment variables, customized any system settings, removed some system files, please try to recover them and test again.
If there’s any limitation(like permission limitation, antivirus, security management software, group policy…) on your machine, try to double check and confirm that they won’t block VS from creating related ASP.NET Web application files.
Try to manually download and install newer or other versions of .NET Framework, see if this works.

Feel free to let us know the results :)

Best Regards,

Tianyu

Hello @Rin,

Have you tried the methods above? Does this error persist?

I ran into the same problem as @Rin.

I followed the suggestions above:

I attempted to create a new project using the "ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework)" template and now received an exception with HRESULT: 0x80040402 User's image

When I try with .NET Framework 4.8 or 4.8.1 I get the error Rin and I were also seeing:

Hello @Jeffrey LeCours,

About error code 0x80040402, have you also tried the suggestions from this thread: Visual Studio 2022 errors: HRESULT: 0x80040402?

Try to close the error box and Visual Studio. When Visual Studio asks, save the solution file (.sln). Then start Visual Studio and open the solution. It is empty. Right click the solution in Solution Explorer, “Add”, “New project”, and add the same kind of ASP project…

Try using different names for the main project, and the solution, when you are creating them.

… unchecking the ‘Place solution and project in the same directory’ option.

I did find that thread and tried those suggestions. I tried the first and last suggestions in your comment. I did not try using a different name for the main project and solution.

I found an old project (many, many years old) that had used this template and was able to open. It used a slightly older version of .NET Framework that I didn't have (4.7.1) so I installed that to resolve that problem. After seeing that the page didn't load I realized that necessary (i think) Windows Features were not enabled. From the Windows Features app I had to enable Internet Information Services -> World Wide Web Services -> Application Development Features -> ASP.NET 3.5 and ASP.NET 4.8. I'm not sure if they both were necessary but they let me web app load, hosted by IIS.

After all of this... I just tried create a new solution/project using that template in the default location VS suggested (c:\users\jlecours\source\repos), using a different solution than project name, and having "Place solution and project in the same directory" unchecked.... and it succeeded!

However (and I'm soooo frustrated), I'm not getting an error that is preventing my VS from opening!

@Tianyu Sun-MSFT

I had found that article and tried some of those solutions. The unchecking "Place solution and project in the same directory" suggestion did not work for me.

However, I was able to get this working but I'm not sure the precise reason so I'll just share my short story:

I found a very old test application that had used the same template and I wanted to see if I could open that. I could but it was targeting .NET Framework 4.7.1 which I didn't have installed. After installing that and trying to access the web app page (hosted in IIS) I realized I did not have the appropriate Windows Features enabled:

I'm not sure if both were necessary.

I then opened VS to create a new solution/project and this time I used the default suggested directory (c:\users<username>\source\repos) and also changed the name of the solution -- and it worked!

Out of the fire into the frying pan.

After allegedly fixing that problem... I'm now running into a different (related? idk) VS issue that is causing VS to immediately terminate shortly after startup.

I'm getting the follow popups at start:

I've been fighting this error for a week and have tried dozens of solutions of reinstalling older/newer versions, removing potential roaming/local caches, running /resetsettings. The only thing I don't have control over is potential issues caused by 3rd party anti-virus because of corporate policy.
