Create COM object

Question

I want to test creating a COM object. Normally I use Excel or Word VBA and add a reference to the DLL I want to test. However I am on a Windows 2008 server without these programs and only the basic software installed that comes with Windows, plus IIS. How can I create a COM object easily and call its properties and methods?

You could use Powershell.

For example, this creates new Word App com object:
$word = new-object -com Word.Application

If you use PS 3+ ISE, it also includes handy Intellisense:
