Remarks
An ExeServer can have one or more class registrations. Multiple class registrations should share an ExeServer if their LocalServer32 keys match and they have the same AppID (or if they don't have an AppID), unless they need to be registered under different Applications/Application manifest elements.
ExeServer registrations correspond to LocalServer32 keys and their associated AppID key.
The Executable and Arguments attributes correspond to the default value of the LocalServer32 key.
