[2] From DOS prompt, COMExe /RegServer

[3] Build Tes.sln inside COMExe32Test folder

=> COMExeTest32.exe gets created in the folder parent folder of 32.

=> rename it to COMExeTest32_CLSCTX_ACT.exe.



[4] Comment #define USE_CLSCTX_ACTIVATE in Test.sln's stdafx.h and rebuild the project.

=> COMExeTest32.exe gets created in the parent folder of 32.

[5] Run both COMExeTest32.exe and COMExeTest32_CLSCTX_ACT.exe from:

- win 7 64 bit : both the same results

- win xp 32 bit : COMExeTest32_CLSCTX_ACT.exe gives 0x80070057(E_INVALID_ARG) error.

thank you.

MSDN says about CLSCTX:


The flags CLSCTX_ACTIVATE_32_BIT_SERVER and CLSCTX_ACTIVATE_64_BIT_SERVER flow across computer boundaries. If the computer that hosts the server is running the 64-bit Windows, then it will honor these flags; otherwise it will ignore them.
