    Why is it that this native code works to create an IShellLink object:

    hres = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ShellLink, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IShellLink, (LPVOID*)&psl);

    But this managed code throws "COM Error: Class not registered"

            var Link = new Shell32.ShellLinkObject();
    

    In the C# project I have a reference to Shell32. I'm on Windows 10 x64 and I have the C# project set to build for "Any CPU". So what's the problem here?

    The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
