But it at least lets you share an implementation object across multiple applications with relatively minor code changes (code to associate the multiple CLSIDs with the single implementation during DllGetClassObject).
- "with relatively minor code changes". Yeah, no source code since we are repackaging a vendor app to deploy in a safe way. These apps will not work in MSIX without changes.
