com+ application doesnot createobject on win 98

[dcomVB]

I have created a com+ application and components have been added to application using drag-drop method

The application properties and my computer properties in com+ have been set as follows:
Authentication = none
Impersonation = identify
Application proxy = true
Distributed com objects = true
security - full access/ control to everyone

The application was exported and installed on win 98 client using windows installer
the client side settings are as follows:
in the network properties
user level security is set and the com+ server name is provided

In client side dcom config
Authentication = none
Impersonation = impersonate
Distributed com objects = true
security - full access/ control to everyone
In the application property - run this application of specified m/c was selected and server name was provided the other 2 check boxes were not selected

now when createobject is tried from client "remote server m/c does not exist or is unavailable" error is raised". The references in vb project display the correct path (as remote application)

can someone help me with this problem - I have visited the key word search and also tried registering .vbr/ .tlb files as explained by somebody. but this still does not work.

My application works fine in NT and MTS environment with win 98 as client.

So is there anything that I have missed out or may be the settings are incorrect.

help required ASAP
Thank you

Hello
The problem is that the Windows2000 Server has a bug to export packages to Windows 98 clients.
To solve this problem, I think that you need to install a hotfix in your Server.
Go to:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=37141

There is a hotfix exe file to download.
But before, read the article

dear nandov

greate to have some help from you. I shall try the hotfix. But currently I have another problem if you could help -?-
The application under consideration as mentioned earlier works fine in Win 98 and NT 4 environment using MTS. Now this is true with a couple of sites. The same application when tried at a new site fails to work with some funny problems
It works from 2 clients if I follow the following procedure. Boot the server (NT 4 SP6 MTS) - Boot the clients (win 98) try running application - " remote server unavailable" is the error. - Stay connected from clients - reboot the server and the thing works
there are other clients from where this does not work at all.

please help ASAP
cheers!

Hello
This problem is strange.
Try uninstall the exported application at clients computers, and after, reinstall it...
The clients computets should have a DCOM support to execute remote com. Go to:

http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom98/dcom1_3.asp

There is a Dcom exe file to download for windows98 computers.
