Is it possible to throw a custom exception from the constructor of a com
component? I always get an Invalid Pointer exception when I throw from the
constructor. Anywhere else, my custom exception comes through fine.

If you are using COM+ yes, if COM no, because the construction routine is a
feature of ServicedComponents namespace and this component should be running
in COM+.

What would I be doing incorrectly that would cause the exception to show as
an Invalid Pointer?
