How do I create a project to be a local server for a com object?
I want to create a simple (as possible) project that is a local server and not an inproc server. I only need to expose a single object and interface. I tried to create a control project but have been unable to modify the project settings so that it generates a true exe (and registers it as CLSTX_LOCAL_SERVER).
How can I create such a project and still use all the great VS tools to export a class and create its automation interface?

Use the wizard and create a fresh new ATL or MFC project, depending on what you want to use.
Than you can see that there are much more changes than just switching some compiler settings.
Than use you current code and just implement by copy&paste into the new project or use the complete source files.
