Done with Dependency Walker profiling.

The COM DLL is linked offender.lib. No, offender.dll is a standard DLL
(actually all 5 are).

I've tried attaching COMTrace to VB while running a client program and I get
output like:

CoCreateInstanceEx(OurApp.Application.2,0x0,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER|CLSCTX_INPROC_HANDLER,0x0,4,0x13f7f0)
- FAILED: The specified procedure could not be found
CoInitializeEx(0x0, COINIT_MULTITHREADED) - SUCCEEDED
CoCreateInstance(*GUID*,
0x0,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER|CLSCTX_INPROC_HANDLER,IID_IMarshal, 0x421ee2c) -
SUCCEEDED

"The specified procedure could not be found" is not a documented return code
for CoCreateInstanceEx() so I don't know what's going on there. Any further
assistance or ideas for debugging this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Drew
