+# COM OutProc Server Demo
+
+## Introduction
+
+This is a simple demo of an out-of-process COM server. The server is implemented in C# and the client is implemented in Python.  
+The `OutProcServer` class shows how to register a .NET type for use by COM clients as a local server.  
+The local server is implemented as a console application that listens for incoming connections from COM clients.  
+The new instance of the .NET type is registered as `MultipleUse`, which means that a client uses the same process to call methods on the .NET type.
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+- .NET >= 8.0 SDK
+- Python => 3.9
+
+## Build the .NET server
+
+```powershell
+dotnet publish
+```
+
+## Register the .NET server
+
+Open a new PowerShell window **as an Administrator** and run the following command:  
+
+```powershell
+.\server\bin\Release\net8.0\publish\server.exe /regserver
+```
+
+Now the server is registered and ready to be used by COM clients.
+
+## Run the python client
+
+Open a new PowerShell window as a regular user and run the following commands:  
+
+```powershell
+python -m venv .venv
+.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
+pip install -r .\client\requirements.txt
+```
+
+Now you can run the client:  
+
+```cmd
+python .\client\client.py
+```
+
+## Unregister the .NET server
+
+Open a new PowerShell window **as an Administrator** and run the following command:  
+
+```powershell
+.\server\bin\Release\net8.0\publish\server.exe /unregserver
+```
