There is this error documented for CLSIDFromString

"REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG
The CLSID corresponding to the class string was not found
in the registry."

which seems to indicate that CLSIDFromString might not work
reliably on GUIDs that have not been registered as CLSIDs.

Are you enclosing the GUID in curly braces? I did test my suggestion
before I posted it:

I did not test CLSIDFromString and I don't have a Windows SDK at
home. For all I know, the REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG error might depend
on some policy setting.
