The easiest way to find out is to look at the vbr file. Essentially, all COM server entries follow the same format

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT --
                         |--ProgID--
                                    |--CLSID
                                    |--NotInsertable
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT --
                    |--CLSID --
                               |-- Actual CLSID --
                                                  |-- Implemented Categories
                                                  |-- InProcServer32
                                                  |-- ProgID
                                                  |-- Programmable
                                                  |-- TypeLib
                                                  |-- Version
                                                  |-- VersionIndependentProgID

Of course, this is for a in proc server, but an out-of-proc differs only slightly. This help?
