Plugin does not work when protected mode is ON

[#1]

Hi Team,

We are unable to use our plugin when protected mode is on.

We are using C# generated .tlb file in the C++ plugin code. When plugin is installed on the system we do register this tlb file using regasm.exe.

When protected mode is off, the plugin loads successfully, but when it is on, plugin is not loaded and error message appears - "Unable to Initialize Adobe Plugins. Class not registered."

Not sure, but is the tlb file whose methods are being used by plugin CPP code causing this problem?

Also, I read in Adobe Security (related to protected mode) that broker process is required for out-of-proc COM objects. Since we are not using any exe file, I hope using tlb file should not be the cause of issue. Is it that we need to implement broker process for COM object (.tlb)?

Kindly let us know your valuable inputs.

Thanks
