Yes, correct. I don't remember the interface, but I think its IDispatch or something. Thats why we need stdole32.tlb, it has the 2 or 3 core interface typelibs we need for marshalling all the InstallShield interfaces. > Then there's a bunch of stuff I still don't understand, like ICallFrame, > interface pointer swizzling, exactly where and how all this stuff is > actually implemented and so on. Pretty much sums up what I would say :) Thanks for writing this, Mike! Ciao, Marcus
