How to find a DLL given a CLSID?

Question

I have a situation in which a managed DLL calls some unmanaged DLL. I know the CLSID of the unmanaged DLL, is there any way to find out what binary file houses that CLSID?

Answer 1

Can you not just search for it in the registry using regedit and look for the binary path.

Answer 2

Normaly, you can just go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\"GUID"

And find a key called "InProcServer32" for instance and there will be the default value that has the DLL. This is one simple way to do it.
