so here's what I've figured so far : There's at least 2 ways to use COM interrop DLL. 1. by registering the DLL, which requires admin rights 2. by directly using the DLL (with the #using instruction, which requires CLR enabled which means I'm limited to C++17

while the DLL was registered, my project was also configured (badly configured) to use it as a free component (as an isolated COM)

I've made a breakthrough yesterday. I figured that if I registered the dll manually (using regasm), I could in fact use the library.
