I am creating a ATL EXE component. (Visual studio 2005 EXE).

But in my code, I am using another Com object, for wich I must create
a sink Interface. (I am called by the other object).

The sink Interface has been created with the wizard.

At what level must I create the Ipointer to my Interface.

I have overiden the CAtlExeModule::Run, where I do:

ImySink * pIsink;

res = CoCreateInstance(CLSIID_mySink, ,,, &pIsink);

But this fail with error code 0x8008005

Sink objects don't have to be creatable coclasses, and usually aren't.
This means they don't need to derive from CComCoClass, don't need CLSID,
don't need to be mentioned in the IDL or in the object map. In your
code, you simply create an instance of C++ class implementing the sink
with new or with CComObject::CreateInstance.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
