Re: Registering in ROT with ROTFLAGS_ALLOWANYCLIENT

I didn't suggest anything like what you describe! I merely
meant that you should split your GUI from your COM
plumbing and have a separate executable to register in
the ROT. Obviously I don't know a great deal about your
design, so I couldn't comfortably present this setup, but
the conclusions you drew were wildly worse...
