(Update from my future self that came here while searching for a similar error)
I've managed to solve this by monitoring the registry, both when doing a Regasm.exe call on my assembly, as well as when monitoring what keys the profiler requests when valling StartProfiling
.
These keys were required for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZetaProducer.SuperSlimScriptingEngineProfiler.SlimScriptEngineProfilerCallback]

Another suggestion for JScript is to also add:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment]
"JS_PROFILER"="{1C406FBA-59EF-4FB2-938C-C1DA182D5914}"
Since I wanted my program to run without administrative privileges, I've create a class to create the above keys unter HKEY_CURRENT_USER
, wich also works.
Following is the full class file for reference purposes:
namespace ZetaProducer.SuperSlimScriptingEngineProfiler.Helper
{
using Microsoft.Win32;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Security.AccessControl;

{
public const string ClsidString = @"1C406FBA-59EF-4FB2-938C-C1DA182D5914";
public static readonly Guid Clsid = new Guid(ClsidString);

Update July 2018
I've once again got the initial error on my development machine when running directly from within Visual Studio 2017:
Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))
After some try and error, I figured out that this was due to the fact, that I configured my Visual Studio to always run as an administrator.
When starting from within this context, somehow something seems to go wrong. I still don't know what exactly.
Solution for this was to simply start my executable directly from Windows File Explorer and not from within Visual Studio.
Another possible solution (which I didn't try) should be to not run Visual Studio as an administrator.
