If you develop a Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) application by using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, and the application contains OLE components, all the components may not register successfully if one of the components has a NULL PROGID parameter. This problem may cause unexpected behavior when you run the application because component information may not appear in the registry.
