I can't help much, but this might get you started.
1) Does the DLL you are trying to use actually supports COM. I know some don't.
2) I'm pretty sure that the string you pass to new COM('...') should
be the name the class as registered with Windows, not the actual file
name. They are usually something like 'Scripting.FileSystemObject',
'word.application', 'ADODB.Recordset', etc.
