Please clarify some points:

are you building the COM object as Multithreaded-DLL? If this is the case, no need of sys(2335); user interaction is already disabled.

how are you activating your COM object? if it's inside an IIS, you should grant the anonymous user the necessary permissions to write the file (not granted by default, if you are just using IUSR_xxxxxx)
