What path are you passing in?  This interface, as mentioned in the developer help, is only available for personal, file, and sde geodatabases.  So, if you're not passing in a path to a geodatabase then the cast will fail because the factory is not returning a class type that implements this interface. ...

Use IQueryFilterDefinition on your query filter to set an ORDER BY clause on the query.  You can also use ITableSort. ... View more

What you are referring to are the printer margins.  They should update automatically but since your code is automating ArcMap instead of running inside of it then some things may not work properly.  ArcMap was never written to be automated so you might want to reconsider doing that if this problem persists.  You can turn the print margins off via IPage:IsPrintableAreaVisible.  Just set the property to False.  Turning it off and then back on might cause it to update but I don't know for sure. ...

What the query filter object does is build a SQL query using the property values you give it.  It looks something like this: SELECT <subfields> FROM <tablename> WHERE <whereclause> It doesn't parse the property values you give it - it simply puts them into the query.  Different data sources implement different flavors of SQL.  What works in one may or may not work in another.  The Subfields property is intended to be a simple list of field names.  The fact that you can also add keywords such DISTINCT is simply a byproduct of how the object creates the SQL queries.  Because it is not an intended use of the property, you should not include anything but field names in the list unless you can guarantee that your query will always execute against a data source that supports the keywords you are inserting.  If you need to perform queries that do more than what the query filter object supports then you shouldn't use it.  Instead, you can connect to the data source directly and execute the required queries (this is a non-ArcObjects approach).  You can also use ArcObjects classes, such as IDataStatistics and IQueryFilterDefinition, that are specifically written for additional query support.  There is also the IWorkspace.ExecuteSQL method which may be of some use in certain cases.  ISqlSyntax may also be used to build queries for specific data sources.  Hope this helps. ...

I've looked at the developer help for 9.3.1, 10, and 10.1 and none of them list a class named DocumentClass that implements IDocument. ... View more

By run directly I meant double-clicking it.  In order to run the utility from the command line, the cmd window will need to be started as an administrator.  To run it from an installer, the installer will have to run with elevated privileges.  Also, you mentioned this was an add-in.  Add-ins do not need to be registered; only the old-style COM components.  All of our desktop extensions are COM so I have to run this utility in our installers as well.  I have code in each installer class to run the utility.  We then use WinRAR to create a self-extracting exe that contains the installer exe and msi.  One of the settings on this self-extracting exe is to prompt to run with elevated privileges.  We've never ran into any problems with the registration on machines that were properly configured but I don't know if any of them were running that OS. ...
