Plugin could not be created

HI

 

I've just figured out how to create my own plug in for Exodus.  The plug-in
doesn't do anything yet but it does show in the Exodus plug-ins dialog.
When I click configure the plug-in returns 'Plug-in could not be created'.
After clicking the mouse, I get the message the message 'Plug-in could not
be initialised or configured'.

 

Now I'm not sure if this is just because I haven't filled one of the
IExodusPlugin interface members (looking at that now)  or because there is
something wrong with the COM IDL file (I'm new to ATL).  

 

Any Help appreciated.
