Re: How to find GUID of Typelibrary for a given OLE Object?

I don't have that version of Excel installed, so I looked up Outlook instead:

use Win32::TieRegistry;

my $clsid = $Registry->{'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes'.
            '\Outlook.Application\CLSID\\'}->{'\\'};

print $Registry->{'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\\'.$clsid}->{'\\'};

__END__
Microsoft Outlook 8.0 Object Library
[download]

I didn't find the GUID. I hope someone else can help with that...

You do have the "GUID" - that's what is in the `$clsid` there - or rather that is a GUID. /J\	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you for your answer! But if I apply your solution to 'Excel.Application' it prints 'Microsoft Excel' (that is NOT a type library, since Win32::OLE::Const->EnumTypeLibs() call doesn't list it as type library). But for some reason your solution works the way I dreamed about for 'Outlook.Application' ( I would find out it too if I digged in registry using 'Outlook.Application' as a sample). Does anybody have any other ideas?	[reply]
