I have tried sooo many XPCOM examples and nothing seems to work. I was doing something wrong, and I could never figure out what that was. So when I found your example I just thought "Well, I'll try again, but it will probably have some other flaw just like the others." Au contraire! It worked. I'm so happy. I can now really get moving on my XULRunner app. Thank you so much. IT WORKED!!!

I'd also declare the "obj" variable, instead of making it an implicit global variable.

That basically means that the two must have been compiled with the same version of the compiler. As the official 1.8.x builds are compiled with VC6, you need the VC6-compiled wintools.zip instead of the vc8 compiled vc8-moztools.zip.
