If you're running a 32-bit app on a 64-bit version of Windows, this is 
expected; APOs are typically native-only.

If you're running native, check to see that the CLSID in question is registered 
under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} and that 
the hosting .dll exists.

Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Create an object of an APO in a win32 APP


I am using the code below to create an object of an APO from a  normal win32 
app. The intention is to check whether the APO is installed in the PC. However 
i get a Class Not Registered error every time i execute the below piece of code.

HRESULT isExistAPO(CLSID CLSID_ClassID, IID IID_InterfaceID)
            {
                 // CLSID_ClassID is the class GUID of the APO
                //IID_InterfaceID is the interface ID of the APO

                        //CoInitialize(NULL);

                        CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);

                        HRESULT hr = S_OK;

                        IUnknown *pAPO = NULL;

                        hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ClassID,
                                    NULL,
                                    CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
                                    IID_InterfaceID,
                                    (void**)&pAPO);
                        if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
                        {
                                    //APO found
                                    pAPO->Release();
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                    //Failed
                        }
                        CoUninitialize();
                        return hr;
            }
