acrobat

When I try to instantiate a PDF browser control like this in C#:

AcroPDFLib.AcroPDFClass acrobat = new AcroPDFLib.AcroPDFClass();

I get a COMException with this message:

Creating an instance of the COM component with CLSID {CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000} from the IClassFactory failed due to the following error: 80004005.

I have made a reference to AcroPDF.dll which has the component name Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser Control Type Library 1.0.

I can't figure out what is wrong. Help most appreciated!
