COM exe registration problem......

[joecre]

Hi everibody, I've the following problem, I'm trying to register on my machine a COM exe with the following command C:\myComSrv.exe /RegServer, I've noticed in Task Manager that myComSrv start but unfortunately the instance still alive since I kill it manually.
Can someone suggest me a way to understand this strange behaviour?
Thank you everybody in advance

The call to register your server should be in your _tWinMain function (in myComSrv.cpp). The code should look like this:

extern "C" int WINAPI _tWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, 
{
    //......
    BOOL bRun = TRUE;
    LPCTSTR lpszToken = FindOneOf(lpCmdLine, szTokens);
    while (lpszToken != NULL)
    {
        if (lstrcmpi(lpszToken, _T("UnregServer"))==0)
        {
            _Module.UpdateRegistryFromResource(IDR_myComSrv, FALSE);
            nRet = _Module.UnregisterServer(TRUE);
            bRun = FALSE;
            break;
        }
        if (lstrcmpi(lpszToken, _T("RegServer"))==0)
        {
            _Module.UpdateRegistryFromResource(IDR_myComSrv, TRUE);
            nRet = _Module.RegisterServer(TRUE);
            bRun = FALSE;
            break;
        }
        lpszToken = FindOneOf(lpszToken, szTokens);
    }
    if (bRun)
    {
        _Module.StartMonitor();
       //......
    }
    _Module.Term();
    CoUninitialize();
    return nRet;
}

I would guess the bRun is not being set to FALSE, so your RegServer code is not called. Place a breakpoint in this code and run the exe from the debugger. In your Project Settings->Debug set the program arguments to /RegServer (it might be as simple as the / in /RegServer).

Thank you but unfortunately bRun is FALSE, I've noticed my application exit from _tWinMain but in task manager the instance still alive
