* Initializes the COM runtime.
*
* This method must be called on each thread of the client application that
* wants to access COM facilities. The initialization must be performed before
* calling any other COM method or attempting to instantiate COM objects.
*
* On platforms using XPCOM, this method uses the following scheme to search for
* XPCOM runtime:
*
* 1. If the VBOX_APP_HOME environment variable is set, the path it specifies
* is used to search XPCOM libraries and components. If this method fails to
* initialize XPCOM runtime using this path, it will immediately return a
* failure and will NOT check for other paths as described below.
*
* 2. If VBOX_APP_HOME is not set, this methods tries the following paths in the
* given order:
*
* a) Compiled-in application data directory (as returned by
* RTPathAppPrivateArch())
* b) "/usr/lib/virtualbox" (Linux only)
* c) "/opt/VirtualBox" (Linux only)
*
* The first path for which the initialization succeeds will be used.
*
* On MS COM platforms, the COM runtime is provided by the system and does not
* need to be searched for.
*
* Once the COM subsystem is no longer necessary on a given thread, Shutdown()
* must be called to free resources allocated for it. Note that a thread may
* call Initialize() several times but for each of tese calls there must be a
* corresponding Shutdown() call.
*
* @return S_OK on success and a COM result code in case of failure.
