Problems trying to use a COM+ object from Windows 98 Clients

[John Garcia]

I have the following problem.


I have a component that is running in a Windows 2000 Server using MTS (COM+).
I am exporting the package so I can install it in windows 98 clients.

I already have tested MTS calling the object from a VB Application that is
running in the Windows 2000 Server and seems that the MTS is working fine

Hi John

COM+ components don't install smoothly on non-COM+ machines.
One way should be:

1. Export package as proxy
2. Run proxy setup on client
3. Manually register components (regsvr32)
4. Initialize objects with CreateObject ("yourobject", "servername")

There you go.
