In powershell, when using new-object to instantiate, or get a reference to (or whatever you want to call it), a COM object I recall that the COM object needed to have a certain property to be able to expose it's functionality (through the registry I think is how it did it, via its Class-Id or something).
I can't for the life of me remember what the technical term for the "exposing" was, just that if the object/module/dll/assembly wasn't configured appropriately, the object wasn't available for instantiating with new-object (so that you couldn't just start instantiating objects within 3rd party software I assume is why an explicit setting must be made).
If anyone knows what this term is called it would be very helpful. Its the first step I'm taking in reusing a clients software functionality from a webservice, so I don't have to rewrite all over.
Much appreciated...
