= COM Create Test =
The table below lists the various free tools available and their purpose. Click on the tool name to visit the tool download page.
The COM Create Test Utility (ComCreateTest32 or ComCreateTest64) is a Windows command line tool that allows the user to quickly test whether the COM object specified by its CLSID can be successfully created from a 32-bit or 64-bit process, locally. This is usable for testing presence of OPC "Classic" servers, which are all COM objects. Run the tool without any parameters on command line to obtain usage instructions.
