Return Value

HRESULT	Description
S_OK	SetHostControl returned successfully.
HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE	The CLR has not been loaded into a process, or the CLR is in a state in which it cannot run managed code or process the call successfully.
HOST_E_TIMEOUT	The call timed out.
HOST_E_NOT_OWNER	The caller does not own the lock.
HOST_E_ABANDONED	An event was canceled while a blocked thread or fiber was waiting on it.
E_FAIL	An unknown catastrophic failure occurred. If a method returns E_FAIL, the CLR is no longer usable within the process. Subsequent calls to hosting methods return HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE.
E_CLR_ALREADY_STARTED	The CLR has already been initialized.

You must call SetHostControl before the CLR is initialized, that is, before you call ICLRRuntimeHost::Start Method or use any of the Metadata Interfaces. It is recommended that you call SetHostControl immediately after calling CorBindToCurrentRuntime Function or CorBindToRuntimeEx Function.
