The exception thrown from COMBindingBaseObject when instatiation fails
is misleading:
COM object with CLSID {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} not registered properly!
In the concrete case COM was not properly initialized, the same error now
reports (in german locale):
CoInitialize wurde nicht aufgerufen.(HRESULT: 800401f0) (puArgErr=)
For english locale this should be along the lines of:
CoInitialize was not called.(HRESULT: 800401f0) (puArgErr=)
The message now points out the correct problem (as far as the windows
error code translation works) and the HRESULT can be used for a locale
independend report + search.
Closes #646
Please note: The change in COMBindingBaseObject looks worse in the diff, than it is. The two constructors (the clsid and the progid ones) were mostly duplicated code. The duplicate part was merged into the init method, and the constructors delegate to that method.
