Firstly, let me say that I am not using RealOne.

This is the component (at least I would assume that)

And this is the typelib for it. It basically describes the interfaces
that are supported by the component.

Are you sure?

Yes, each interface that is used by a component must have an associated
.xpt file. (afaik).

Probably because components belong in components?

True. (not counting browsers embedding Mozilla, such as Kmeleon).

MSIE has indeed no components directory. It uses c:\windows\system for
this purpose.

Probably not.

Yes, use xpt_dump.exe. In a MS-DOS Prompt, type this (in the Mozilla
directory):
xpt_dump components\nppl3260.xpt
(you can add a -v for verbose output)
Could you post the output of that command here? I'm interested in it.

I don't think so.
