Correct CLSID's with add-in shim

[David Thielen]

Hello;

Sorry for the wide distribution but I am stuck on these 4 items and
have googled and searched msdn and microsoft.com - all to no avail.

This is for a Word add-in written in C# and using the
IDTExtensibility2 approach (ie not VSTO).

A developer in the Word group told me "The shim RGS and IDL both use a
different CLSID from the assembly, so both get registered and there's
no mapping between them, plus writing trash to the registry."

I have gone over and over and over the article at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnoxpta/html/odc_comshim.asp
and I can't find anything about this.

As I read that article, the idl file gets one GUID before the library
statement that is unique - it is not repeated anywhere else.

The second GUID appears in the idl file once (inside importlib) and
three times in the rgs file. And those two files/four locations are
the only place that second GUID is used.

What am I missing here (both files below)?

thanks - dave


COMAddInShim.idl:
// COMAddInShim.idl : IDL source for stshim

// This file will be processed by the MIDL tool to
// produce the type library (COMAddInShim.tlb) and marshalling code.
