One more thing to share that may be useful to others using Vladimir's 
OleAuto Extender:

I discovered Paradox crashes when using this library on Win11 if you 
place the VMolea.dll in Windows\system folder as instructed.
Instead I put VMolea.dll in the same folder as the Paradox exe, and it 
works fine.

Thanks,
Randy
