Console-based exe COM server

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Is it possible to create a console-based exe COM server, as opposed to a
window-based one? Using ATL, if you use the "module" attribute with a type of
"exe" it generates the entry-point for WinMain, not main. Is there anything
that I can do to ensure that my exe COM server is console-based with a main
entry point, and accepts input parameters and prints messages to the console
(and still registers via /regserver)?

Thank you very much,

Leo
