RegFree COM Fix for Vista and XP
When using Registration Free COM, the requirement is to give a manifest with the executable so that the runtime loads the COM server dll from the location specified by the manifest.
This works fine if the COM server is not yet registered in the Registry. If its already registered then the OS first tries to load the registry location than the location specified in the manifest. To fix this issue Microsoft has released a hotfix for OSes that support Registry Free COM.
More info could be obtained from KB 843524.
This would part of the next service pack.
Happy Programming,
