It is a pretty complex application and requires a lot of third-party DLLs to start. I need to send you about 20MB of stuff to run the example.

Anywhere, thanks for your reply.

Thanks , Junfeng.

I looked at http://blogs.msdn.com/junfeng/archive/2006/04/14/576314.aspx. However, I couldn't find any helpful information for my situation. My application is a MFC application written in VC++ 7. All the COM components are also written in VC++ 7. It doesn't requires the .NET runtime. The manifest file doesn't contain a reference to the CLR. The problematic environment is Windows XP Professional 64 bit edition. The error was: the application failed to create COM objects. If I mannually registered thos components, the application worked fine. The event log contains no entry for SideBySide.

However, the same application and manifest file work fine on Windows XP Professional 32 bit edition.

Any other suggestion?

I saw your article about registration free COM. It was very helpful for me. But it is closed for comments. So I try it here.

I have a manifest file containing the locations for some C++ COM DLLs. It works on Win XP and Win 2003. However, it failed on Win XP 64 bit edition. Do you have any idea?
