Problems using 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

But I can't make it work if I export a package and install it in a Windows
98 Client. Won't allow me to create a instance of object. What's the problem?

You don't mention the error(s) you are getting but I would take a look at the following article:
