getting E_NOINTERFACE trying to create outlook.application in vc++ (2005) on xp

Hello:

I'm getting E_NOINTERFACE when I try to create an outlook.application
object in vc++ (2005) on xp running outlook 2003.


HRESULT hr = CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);

CLSID clsidOutlook;
CLSIDFromProgID(L"Outlook.Application", &clsidOutlook);


CComPtr<IDispatch> OutlookPtr;
hr = CoCreateInstance(clsidOutlook, NULL, CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER,
IID_IDispatch,(void **)&OutlookPtr);


hr is always E_NOINTERFACE...

hmmmm....looks like a security/outlook2003 issue. The above works on
my home machine the only difference being outlook 2000.

Still, there must be a way to get around it...I'm trying to do
something similiar to google desktop's "view in outlook" by launching
outlook with a specific email.

Is there another way to do this without using COM?

Can you create a vbs file that calls CreateObject("Outlook.Application")? Do
you have any AV products (McAffee, Norton, etc) installed?
