I have a lot of 32-bit C++ code that I want to run in Windows Azure Compute Service. The code is already packaged into a COM server and so I'd like to consume that server from managed code that will service external requests.

I googled but can't find any details on how to deploy a COM server under Windows Azure. How do I do that? Is there a guide? What limitations are there?

I think you could deploy the COM objects as binaries and then register them using a startup script - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/gg433178 - "Exercise 2: Using Start-Up Tasks to Register a COM Component"

  • Nice Ryan :) Stuart, be sure to pull down the Platform Training Kit. It is by far the best that MS has put out to date – Dennis Burton May 12 '11 at 15:09
  • @dunnry I suspect you might have a biased opinion on that particular part of the training kit... – knightpfhor May 12 '11 at 20:52
