Why not check why it's "always 0" for you, instead of complaining that
it is? If the CoGetClassObject call can't obtain the class factory, it's
usually because the registry entries are missing, incorrect, or the
referenced dll can't be loaded, but then it should have returned a
failure, and CoCreateInstance should then bail out before getting to
this point. You could also find out why it didn't, then?
