Vista - Can I use the uuid with new-object -comobject

I would like to access a com object but I only have the uuid. Can this be done?

Not sure if you can, but you can find the ProgID from the GUID first like
this :

PoSH> function get-ProgID ($guid) {(gp
"registry::\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{$GUID}\ProgID").'(default)'}

PoSH> get-ProgID 13709620-C279-11CE-A49E-444553540000
Shell.Application.1

PoSH> New-Object -ComObject (get-ProgID 13709620-C279-11CE-A49E-444553540000)

Application Parent
----------- ------
System.__ComObject
System.__ComObject

h.t.h.

Hi //o//,

Or like this:

$type= [Type]::GetTypeFromCLSID('13709620-C279-11CE-A49E-444553540000')
$obj = [Activator]::CreateInstance($type)
