Hi,

[If this is not the right group to post this message, please let me
know where i can post this message].

I have written a dummy hardware provider (as DLL) to get myself
familiar with the VDS framework.
The installation of the COM component and registration with VDS went
fine.
Oleview is able to load the component fine.
But when VDS is loaded i get the message
"VDS fails to launch provider {classid of provider}:
REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG"

Even the DLL is not loaded when VDS reports this error.
Is there some problem in the registration?
This is what i use for registering the provider.

hr = pVdsAdmin->RegisterProvider(GUID_PseudoHwProvider,

CLSID_PseudoHwProvider,
L"Pseudo HW
Provider",
VDS_PT_HARDWARE,
NULL, L"1.0",

GUID_PseudoHwProviderVersion);


Thanks
Krupa.
