Hi,

This following code in a console application:

CoInitialize(0);
HRESULT hr;
SHDocVw::IShellWindowsPtr spSHWinds;
hr = spSHWinds.CreateInstance (__uuidof(SHDocVw::ShellWindows));

====> Returns 0x0x80040154 - Class not registered.

Can someone please help me why I am getting this error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This code works fine on XP-SP1 and W2K. Only on XP/SP2 it is returning this error.
