That part I do not know. I was using a 64 bit example, but it also worked on 32
bit platforms.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Registration-free COM via CreateObject
Thanks for that example. A few questions. Is it a 64-bit COM server?
Did you create that manifest manually or with a tool that generates it?
Is there a free such tool? By any chance, do you know whether the syntax would
be different for a COM server built with .NET? Lastly, is it possible to point
the CreateObject function to a type library file
(.tlb) associated with the COM server rather than an XML manifest file?
