Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but the way to "sort it out" is to avoid running in Admin mode.
With regard to this
http://lunatico.es/aagcw/Windows_7_Installation.pdf I desperately need to contact them. DCOM is unrelated to ACP (and ASCOM) completely. It used to be an issue with TheSky 6 for Telescopes, but that's all. Also, running it
routinely as Admin is not right. I'm going to guess that the DCOM stuff came from old ASCOM lore for TheSky 6, and I'm going to guess that you can now remove the Admin mode from the cloud watcher program. Try it. Some programs with low-grade installers (that do not know how to register COM interfaces) cannot register their COM interfaces unless elevated. Running the program once to allow it to self-register is usually enough.
