Re: mscoree.dll creating new appdomain with local configuration

Hi =?Utf-8?B?Q2FsaW5nYQ==?=,

It is not my idea to replace mscoree.dll after all, but I would like know if
mscoree.dll would handle some undocumented registry entries.

I'm not too savvy in all this but...

From some acquaintance with Shared COM Add-ins for Office I know from the
documentation that ALL managed COM Add-ins use mscoree.dll by default. This can
lead to problems: if one Add-in fails, then all Add-ins will fail because
mscoree.dll will "get the blame". The COM apps don't see/recognize anything
else.

Therefore, the recommendation is to use a SHIM to take the place of mscoree.dll
as the "go-between". I'd think you could trim the shim to do what you need,
although I can't begin to tell you how. Look up the term SHIM on msdn and in
the knowledge base.
