I have a strange problem and am loosing my nerves soon:

I want to read the content from a file with XML structure to a
IXMLDocument object. Goal is to read the configuration files of the
new WindowsMail which are in XML format. If I open such a file, I have
no problems. But if I manually create such a file with an editor and
copy the content of the existing file into it and use my method on
this manually created file, I get an exception! (both files have the
same content!)



Here's the code:



IXMLDocument* WindowsMailConfigFile::createXMLObject(CString path) {

IXMLDocument *pDoc = NULL;

IStream *pStm = NULL;

IPersistStreamInit *pPSI = NULL;

CHAR buf[MAX_PATH];

CHAR *pszURL;


HRESULT hr;

pszURL = buf;

GetFullPathName(path, MAX_PATH, pszURL, NULL);

hr = CoInitialize(NULL);

ASSERT(SUCCEEDED(hr));

hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_XMLDocument, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,

IID_IXMLDocument, (void**)&pDoc);


CHECK_ERROR (pDoc, "CoCreateInstance Failed");

// Synchronously create a stream on a URL.

hr = URLOpenBlockingStream(0, pszURL, &pStm, 0,0);

// Get the IPersistStreamInit interface to the XML doc.

hr = pDoc->QueryInterface(IID_IPersistStreamInit, (void **)&pPSI);

hr = pPSI->Load(pStm);

return pDoc;

}



On the second last line, the pPSI->Load(pStm) statement seems to throw
an exception somehere else which I cannot catch!

This only happens if I use the method on a file which I manually
created! If I use it on an existing config file of WindowsVista, it
works!

Can anyone see the problem?

Please, I am desperate...



Thanks,

Dominik
