COM cannot start out-of-process .Net server compiled as AnyCPU

Question

I am trying to get COM to start my out-of-process .NET COM server. It works if the server process is compiled with x64, but if I use AnyCPU (which is what I want) then it hangs

Answer 1

Try to use the RegistrationServices class to register your com assembly. It will also choose the correct registry pathes and do some other things.

Example:

Assembly currentAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
System.Runtime.InteropServices.RegistrationServices regAsm = new System.Runtime.InteropServices.RegistrationServices();
bool isRegistered = regAsm.RegisterAssembly(currentAssembly, System.Runtime.InteropServices.AssemblyRegistrationFlags.SetCodeBase);

Also I think, that .NET client assemblies have some trouble according to .NET com servers, but I can't find any resource for it...

Hope, it will help...
