The function CLSIDFromProgID is returning Error 0x800401f3 when trying to determine the CLSID in the registry, given a ProgID (the OPC Server Name). This error means Invalid Class String. In other words, the OPC Server (in this case "AutoSol.AES.1") has not registered correctly in the registry on the PC running the OPC client driver (DriverOPC).

The easiest way to register the remote OPC server on the OPC client (i.e. the ClearSCADA server) is to install the OPC server software on the OPC client machine and to then disable the service.
