I've inherited a ATL COM project written in VC++ 6.0. It has .rgs
files. As a concrete example, I have put one at the bottom of this
posting. My expectation was that the CLSID # should be found in the
registry after a build. Thus I should be able to do a search for
DEAE924F-573A-11D5-A1F0-444553540000 in the registry. But I can't
find it.

Check that a) your coclass is mentioned in the object map (see
OBJECT_ENTRY), and b) the class declaration has
DECLARE_REGISTRY_RESOURCEID macro with an appropriate resource id (that
of the .rgs file). Once everything is in place, run regsvr32 on your
DLL.

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
