I have a similar problem with RemObject Hydra Delphi plugins (http://www.remobjects.com/hydra/).
Outside of VS2010 it works fine . In debug in vs2010 the plugin does not always work correctly. I reported this back to RemObjects they said they had not observed this and they wanted me to build an example. I might when I have some spare time.

I am getting COM exceptions when debugging an existing application in VS2010 when working with IShellItem. These COM exceptions did not occur in VS2008, and I can't find any difference in the code. The exceptions don't actually change the way in which the application works, and don't come up when not in debug mode, but I would like to get to the bottom of why they are occuring. Attached is a minimal VS2010 solution that exhibits the behaviour, any help would be much appreciated.
