How do I install and consume a COM object in Windo

Question

I have a lot of 32-bit C++ code that I want to run in Windows Azure Compute Service. The code is already packaged into a COM server and so I'd like to consume that server from managed code that will service external requests.

I googled but can't find any details on how to deploy a COM server under Windows Azure. How do I do that? Is there a guide? What limitations are there?

Answer 1

I think you could deploy the COM objects as binaries and then register them using a startup script - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/gg433178 - "Exercise 2: Using Start-Up Tasks to Register a COM Component"
