Failed to initalize com

[itsu]

I am running a backup program designed using VC++.

I am trying ot backup my SQL Server.
In the backup debug logs, I get the error

"Database Northwind in Striping Backup Mode
Failed to initialize Windows Component Object Model
(COM), EC=-1
release_dumpload_unit(): Released BackupId = 0 for
[Northwind]
Disconnect SQL Server Backup Agent."

The backup fails without even starting.

When it says failed ot initalize Windows Component Object Model, is there a way to find out which Com object is this referring to.

Any help is apprecaited.

Post your question in SQLServer forum, because it seems to be an SQLServer error.

To initialize COM in VisualC++ you should use CoInitialize or OleInitialize
