5.4.1 Problems instantiating COM objects

Some COM objects can rest at in-process servers (implemented in DLL's) and at local servers (implemented as separeted processes). COM gives preference to in-process servers, as they are faster. Nevertheless, some applications may not work with LuaCOM when working as in-process servers. One should instance the COM object supplying an additional flag forcing the use of local servers. See documentation for API function CreateObject.
