regsvr32 fails for simple freepascal COM dll - dll

Question

I'm completely new to free-pascal and I try to implement a simple dll that should register a COM class.
Unfortunately I could only find little information about COM Programming for freepascal. Thus I hope that someone here can give me some hints or even a link to some examples.
So here is what I did:
my operating system is Windows 7 64 bit
downloaded and installed Lazarus 32bit version
Version #: 1.2.6
Date: 2014-10-11
FPC: Version 2.6.4
SVN Revision: 46529
i386-win32-win32/win64
installed the ActiveX package in Lazarus
made a new project - type Library with a simple TAutoObject and a default TAutoObjectFactory for the COM registration: source code included after this description
build the dll
use regsvr32.exe to register my dll --> this fails with
"make sure the binary is stored at the specified path ..."
Invalid access to memory location.
then I tried to change the default project options:
under Compiler Options - Config and Target, I set
Target OS: Win32
Target CPU family: i386
still the same error occurs
Project source
library LazarusSimpleComRegTest;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
uses
Classes,
{ you can add units after this }
ComServ, MyComObj;
exports
DllGetClassObject,
DllCanUnloadNow,
DllRegisterServer,
DllUnregisterServer;
end.
MyComObj Unit:
unit MyComObj;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
interface
uses
Classes, SysUtils, ComObj;
const
CLASS_Plugin: TGUID = '{5E020FB0-B593-4ADF-9288-801C2FD432CF}';
type
TPlugin = class(TAutoObject)
end;
implementation
uses ComServ;
initialization
TAutoObjectFactory.Create(ComServer, TPlugin, CLASS_Plugin,
ciMultiInstance, tmApartment);
end.

Answer 1

I think the main problem was, that I did not include the type library as a resource in my dll file: Now it works fine.
I've made a very basic and simple working example on git-hub with some basic documentation:
