The parameter to _com_ptr_t::CreateInstance( ) is a CLSID, not an IID.
_com_ptr_t already has the IID when you declare it. It's a template
parameter for this class.
I think if you has implemented the server in ATL, all this was far less
confusing that it is currently.

That's no good really. You're much better off with a dual interface. I
don't remember how hard is making a dual interface in MFC, but in ATL you
almost get it for free. That's another reason why to use ATL.
