But how can i find the clsid for this registered COM dll in registry. because when i opened the registry in the path HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID, many entries are there. Can you please provide the way to find the way to locate the clsid for my registered dll?

    DLL might host zero or more coclasses (CLSIDs). Do a reverse search, and search DLL path or name under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and you will find zero or more items like this:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{1C15D484-911D-11D2-B632-00C04F79498E}\InprocServer32
(Default) = "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvidctl.dll"

    And you would read it like this:

    • 32-bit CLSID in 64-bit Windows (Wow6432Node)
    • CLSID {1C15D484-911D-11D2-B632-00C04F79498E}
    • is hosted by DLL (InprocServer32)
    • by the library C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvidctl.dll
