Accessing Com Object through Type Library

Asked by johnnyjj in Windows ATL / WTL / COM Programming, Delphi Programming Language

Tags: ,

Up until recently I was able to import a type library from a commercial EXE using Delphi import library function. I was able to instantiate the application using XXX_TLB.CoXXX.Create function to access other functions in the library.

After the latest update of this exe, these functions do not work even though I can still extract the type library. Also, the new version when installed doesnt seem to register anything in the registry...

I thought perhaps they started using registration-free COM however I cannot find a manifest in the program folder or embedded in the exe.

Is there anyway to verify if this program is still COM based exe or if registration-Free COM is being used?

Is there anyway to still access these program functions?
