The following is a sample of the registry entries for a basic COM Object. See "COM Registry Entries" in the documentation. You must provide relevant values for the following:

<CLSID>: is a GUID for the class
<PATH>: is the complete path for the server exe

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SimpleCOM.Application

Key	Name	Value
	(Default)	Simple COM Class
CLSID	(Default)	{<CLSID>}
CurVer	(Default)	SimpleCOM.Application.1

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{<CLSID>}

Note that the AppID is used only for DCOM.

Key	Name	Value
	(Default)	Simple COM Class
	AppID	Simple COM Application
LocalServer32	(Default)	<PATH>\COMNETSERVER.EXE
ProgId	(Default)	SimpleCOM.Application.1
