QuestionLaunching multiple IE [modified] Pin

Hi,

For a particular requirement, currently my testing team has isolated multiple copes of IE5.5 (in seperate folders with *all* the required DLLs within that folder). They launch multiple copies (sometimes upto 100) of the IE5.5 for their testing to allow individual sessions.

I'm trying to automate this, and for the same (with my very limited knowledge of COM) am trying to do the following. Please help me here to tell me if I am on the right track?:

1. I have a dialog based MFC app can launch each of the 100 different copies of IE 5.5 from their individual 100 folders using CreateProcess()

2. In the app I'm also doing (only once - I suppose this is primarily required for generating the TLH/TLI files):
#import "C:\IE Copies\IE551-1\SHDOCVW.DLL"

Doubt: As each of the 100 folders containing the IE5.5 have their own SHDOCVW.DLL, do I need to import them individually, or should this suffice?

3. After the IEs are running, next I need to "reach" their individual IWebBrowser2 interfaces (exposed by their SHDOCVW.DLL) so that I can invoke the navigation methods to automate visiting sites, logging in, etc.

Please note - The IEs are *not* registered with the system (obviously) - and so the usual methods may not work.

Doubt: Is there some way I can use CoCreateInstance() such that I can launch each of the IE5 copies, even though they're not registered on the system.

Sorry - if this sounds crude/crazy... I'd really appreciate if you can suggest a solution to this -- or even a more appropriate/elegant method to get this going.

Thanks a lot in advance, for your time & efforts.

Rgds,

nd
