I am using VS2005 to develop VBScript tool, I want to use VS2005 Object Browser to browse all objects, I added cscript.exe and excel.exe, but I couldn't find any COMs else, when I tried to add notes.exe, it is said that is not a COM but a FILE!

How can I find all COMs in my Win7?

  • Project > Add Reference > COM tab lists all the installed 32-bit servers on your machine. This isn't exactly a guarantee that you'll know how to use such a server however, very unclear what this tool is supposed to do. – Hans Passant Feb 23 '16 at 13:41

CScript and Wscript are starter programs. The COM objects reside in C:\Windows\System32\wshom.ocx

The wscript base object is only available to scripts it is running, other sub objects do the following.

Look up in Regedit - HKCR\wscript.shell (the object name) - look up the CLSID under this key at HKCR\CLSID\<the GUID> and look under InProcServer32 for DLLs (and OCXs are DLLs with a funny extension) and EXE under LocalServer32.
