If the community assumes the COM component is installed and configured correctly,  Then the web application (application pool identity) has not been granted access to the COM component or the web app does not have the rights to execute the code within the COM component.

It could also be a COM configuration has issues where the COM component should run under an account that has proper access to do whatever the COM component is trying to do.
