How to create an OLE server stub in C++?

I'm trying to write a stub library to simulate a C++ third-party library, so that I can test my client application without needing to have the infrastructure that the third-party library requires.

These are the redacted registry entries that the third-party library creates:

HKCR
    Their.Application
        (Default) REG_SZ Their.Application
        CLSID
            (Default) REG_SZ {01234567-89AB-CDEF-0123-456789ABCDEF}
    WOW6432Node
        CLSID
            {01234567-89AB-CDEF-0123-456789ABCDEF}
                (Default) REG_SZ Their.Application
                InprocHandler32
                    (Default) REG_SZ ole32.dll
                LocalServer32
                    (Default) REG_SZ C:\temp\TheirApplication.exe
                ProgID
                    (Default) REG_SZ Their.Application
HKLM
    SOFTWARE
        Classes
            Their.Application
                CLSID
                    (Default) REG_SZ {01234567-89AB-CDEF-0123-456789ABCDEF}
            WOW6432Node
                CLSID
                    {01234567-89AB-CDEF-0123-456789ABCDEF}
                        (Default) REG_SZ {01234567-89AB-CDEF-0123-456789ABCDEF}
                        InprocHandler32
                            (Default) REG_SZ ole32.dll
                        LocalServer32
                            (Default) REG_SZ C:\temp\TheirApplication.exe
                        ProgID
                            (Default) REG_SZ Their.Application
        WOW6432Node
            Classes
                CLSID
                    {01234567-89AB-CDEF-0123-456789ABCDEF}
                        (Default) REG_SZ Their.Application
                        InprocHandler32
                            (Default) REG_SZ ole32.dll
                        LocalServer32
                            (Default) REG_SZ C:\temp\TheirApplication.exe
                        ProgID
                            (Default) REG_SZ Their.Application

I can see ole32.dll, therefore I assume that they're using OLE, which I have no experience with. How do I get started with creating a stub library, preferably in .NET Framework 4.7.2, that creates these registry entries when it is registered with regsvr32?
