I'm developing a inproc (DLL) server using VC++ 5.  This had been working with
dual interfaces.  Since I changed all interfaces to custom, I get the following
HRESULT when invoking CoCreateInstance() from a client, and *ppv is left as
null:

	E_FAIL (0x80004005)

I've invoked CoCreateInstance() using both CLSCTX_SERVER & CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
with the same results.

Here's how I determined what to change when switching from dual interface to
custom interface:  I created 2 apps with the ATL Wizard, with the only
difference being the interface type.  I compared them.  I made the following
changes to my server, based upon the difference:

.IDL:

	Removed "object" & "dual" from each interface definition.
	Changed IDispatch to IUnknown for each interface definition.
	Removed the "id(n)" at the beginning of each method def.

ClassName.H:

	Changed each:
		"public IDispatchImpl<Interface Name>"
	    to:
		"public InterfaceName"

	Removed the following line:
		"COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY2( ... IDispatch ...)

ClassName.RGS:

	Removed the following line:
		"ForceRemove 'Progammable'"

BTW, I only made the .RGS change after I had already encountered the error;  the
change made no difference.  I also tried using RegSvr32 to undefine the server.
In each case I rebuilt the app to insure the server was registered.  I check the
registry under ROOT to be sure the server is listed appropriately.

I traced through DllGetClassObject() on the server.  It returns without error &
with a non-null *ppv.

The app is being developed using Borland C++ Builder 3.  Everything is running
under Win95.

Any suggestions for what the problem may be, or how to debug this???
