I just had to do this myself, my findings were:

Making types visible to COM:

1. Ensure your class is public, non-static and has a public default constructor i.e. not arguments.
2. Ensure your method is public, non-static.

3. Ensure you have the following set on your assembly - typically in AssemblyInfo.cs

   [assembly: ComVisible(true)]
   

4. After building your DLL, from SDK command line run:

   regasm yourdll.dll
   

   This should respond:

   Types registered successfully

   If you get

   RegAsm: warning RA0000: No types were registered

   then you need to set ComVisible or have no public, non-static types.

From PowerShell

$a = New-Object -comobject Your.Utils.Logging
$a.WriteError2("Application", "hello",1,1)

From vbs

Set logger = CreateObject("Your.Utils.Logging")
logger.WriteError2 "Application", "hello from vbs",1,1
