    I am attempting to add web browsing capabilities to my win32 application. My problem is that the CoCreateInstance method is returning a 'Class not registered' error. I'm not understanding why it would give me this error when I know that other applications on my machine are using the IWebBrowser2 interface. Here is a sample of my code...
    Code:
    #define VC_EXTRALEAN        // Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows headers
    
    /* Class COM Methods */
    
    //#include <afxdisp.h>
    #include <comdef.h>
    #include <atlbase.h>
    #include <exdisp.h>
    
    CComModule   _Module;
    
    #include <atlcom.h>
    
    #include "iexcpp.h"
    
    /* C++ Code */
    
    extern Iex               *pIex;
    
    /*Bfun  ************************* *Efun*/
    
    bool Iex::IexCreateBrowser( char * url )
    {
       CComPtr<IWebBrowser2>   lpTBrowser;
       HRESULT                 hrl = 0;
    
       CoInitialize(NULL);
    
       //Create web browser using IWebBrowser2...
       hrl = lpTBrowser.CoCreateInstance ( IID_IWebBrowser2 ); 
    
       if(!SUCCEEDED(hrl))
          return false;
    
       if( url == NULL )
          return true;
       else
       {  hrl = lpTBrowser->Navigate2( &_variant_t( url ), &_variant_t( NULL ), &_variant_t( NULL ), &_variant_t( NULL ), &_variant_t( NULL ) );
          if(!SUCCEEDED(hrl))
             return false;
          else
          {  lpTBrowser->put_Visible( _variant_t( true ) );
             return true;
          }
       }
    }
    
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You don't need ATL on anything else.
    ActiveX embedding is native in windows with OLE container Window class.
