    Issue: Not able to use DCOM between 2 exes on same device on Windows CE 7.0

    Description: 
         I am trying to access a COM interface implemented in an exe through another exe on a Windows CE 7.0 device.
         I use the function CoCreateInstance (i.e. CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER).However I get the error as E_NOINTERFACE.
         If I access the interface through a DLL( i.e CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER) CoCreateInstance is successful. 
         I have checked the registry to verify that the com class is registered correctly.
         Can anybody please let me know if I am missing anything. I checked the examples provided by microsoft 
         for DCOM on Windows CE device but all the examples were for CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER.
         I understand that Remote DCOM is not supported on Windows CE 7.0 but I am trying to communicate between
         2 exes on the "SAME DEVICE". 

         Can anybody please help me understand as to why this is not possible?
