COM application hangs when you call CoCreateInstance from DllMain (305723)
The information in this article applies to:

This article was previously published under Q305723 SYMPTOMS When you call the CoCreateInstance function from the DllMain function, the Component Object Model (COM) application hangs.
CAUSECoCreateInstance may start a thread that tries to call the DllMain function of all dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) that exist in the
process by passing a DLL_THREAD_ATTACH value. Because the call originates from DllMain, and because DllMain is not a reentrant function, the call to CoCreateInstance never returns. RESOLUTION To resolve this problem, do not call CoCreateInstance from DllMain. You can move the call to an initialization function or to any
other function that is called later. STATUSThis
behavior is by design.
