Engine Init - CoInitialize not called

[Skellods]

I use Delphi 2010 and Windows 7 32 bit.
Until now I haven't had any problems. I didn't change my code. I initialize the Engine with "TV := CoTVEngine.Create;"
Suddenly, there is an error. The debugger tells me
"Erste Gelegenheit für Exception bei $75BE9617. Exception-Klasse EOleSysError mit Meldung 'CoInitialize wurde nicht aufgerufen'. Prozess Skellods.exe (8304)" (sry, I'm German )
When I look where the error is to be found the debugger marks the following red (it's in an Engine Header):
"class function CoTVEngine.Create: ITVEngine;
begin
  Result := CreateComObject(CLASS_TVEngine) as ITVEngine;   <-this is red
end;"
I could fix it on my Computer with a dialog before the initialization. But it won't work for others. The DLL is registered correctly!

Hmm, can you show your code please?

Also, do you generate the header yourself?

1st my code. I really don't know why this is happening. Everything was fine until I thought about preventing my mesh from leaving the terrain (I controle a mesh (box) that moves on an empty terrain). So it has absolutely nothing to do with the initialization. I didn't change anything until the mainloop.
2nd the headers. No, I do not generate them. I only imported the DLL (ActiveX). So everything is autogenerated. And as I said: everything already worked. COM/OLE Class is registered!

Code you could need (this is a DLL!):

Code:

procedure Initcomps;
begin
  // Init components
  // if I put a "Showmessage('123');" here it works on my computer others will also see this dialog, but then fail
  ShowCursor(false);
  TV := CoTVEngine.Create; // yeeees, I call CoTVEngine here. So what is the problem?
  Scene := CoTVScene.Create;
  graphics := CoTVGraphicEffect.Create;
  _id := CoTVDeviceInfo.Create;
  Globals := CoTVGlobals.Create;
  _Text := CoTVScreen2DText.Create;
  Input := CoTVInputEngine.Create;
  intobj := CoTVInternalObjects.Create;
  cam := CoTVCamera.Create;
  atmo := CoTVAtmosphere.Create;
  tex := CoTVTextureFactory.Create;
  icam := CoTVCameraFactory.Create;
  light := CoTVLightEngine.Create;
  pack := CoTVPackage.Create;
  _2D := CoTVScreen2DImmediate.Create;
  physic := CoTVPhysics.Create;
  land := Scene.CreateLandscape('testland');
end;

procedure init;
begin
  Randomize;
  // Load IniFile
  ini:=TIniFile.Create(ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0))+'options.ini');
  readini; // this is for loading game options like resolution etc.
  // Engine init
  Initcomps;
  // some other things are initialized....
end;

procedure thisgame(const PW: PChar);
begin
  // SOME CODE HERE: serialnumber-system - works - so everything until here is ok
  init;
  _2D.Load_Background(pack.GetFile('loading.jpg',graphicpak),False);
  // main loop
  while _end=False do
  begin
    if TV.IsFullscreen=False then if frm.Visible=False then _end:=True;
    if(PeekMessage( Msg, 0, WM_NULL, WM_NULL, PM_REMOVE ) ) then
      begin
        TranslateMessage( Msg );
        DispatchMessage( Msg );
      end
    else
    begin
      if gameinited=False then
        Main;
      if gameinited=True then
        begin
          if _loading=False then
            Maingame;
          if _loading then
            initgame;
        end;
    end;
  end;
  if smenu=True then
    dimout
  else
    dimoutgame;
  Endscreen;
  Sleep(1000);
  ini.Free;
  TV:=nil;
  TerminateProcess(GetCurrentProcess,0);
end;

exports thisgame;

OK, I found a solution. This really is a bug!!!
You have to add

Code:

CoInitialize(nil);

before the first initialization of the components (uses ActiveX)!!! Pls add this to the initialization of the Engine in the autogenerated header.
