I took an export of a plone 2.0.5 site from a win xp pro machine and tried to import it into a fresh plone 2.0.5 on a win 2k machine. it failed with following error:-
com_error: (-2147221005, 'Invalid class string', None, None)
I then tried copying data.fs over instead and this worked but on viewing the site certain plone help center items that used word document file upload for the content failed with the same error.
googling around I found references to win32 and com and general office related references. so I tried installing office on the windows 2000 machine, and now it works.
i'm no windows/ com expert but I guess it is related to office upgrading the com "stuff"
