Hi, Sean, The problem you have has nothing with the about class. When you are adding the MMC snapin to the console the MMC is trying to create the COM component according to the GUID specified in the HKLM\software\microsoft\MMC\snapins registry branch. So, your class, which implements snapin interfaces sould be registered for COM interop.

I've followed the example in the download but when I try to add the snap-in to a console, I get the following error: Snap-in failed to initialize. I can add the sample from the library just fine and my code looks ok. When I go to try and add my snap in, I can see it in the list, however it has the default icon and no description even though I have specified those. I looked up the error on MSKB and all I came up with was that there might be an orphaned reg entry somewhere. I've spent the last hour pouring thru my registry but can't seem to find anything out of whack. I'm thinking the MMC console can't find the about class but I have no idea why. Has anyone else run into this problem? thx 8) sean [1] http://www.ironringsoftware.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?PageId=19 <http://www.ironringsoftware.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?PageId=19> You can read messages from the Advanced DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from Advanced DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
