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.
