Hi all,

I'm new to use DCOM and I have follow the step by step trying to come out the DCOM but it doesn't seem to be success.

What I did through the step as below:
1. Register dll on the server by running regsvr32 xxx.dll
2. Add the component package to MTS
3. copy VBR and TLB files to client machine
4. run clireg32 xxx.vbr on client machine by choosing DCOM option and fill in the IP address of the server
5. set project reference to TLB file in the VB project

However the error message shown as:
Run-time error '429':
ActiveX component can't create object


Did I miss out anything? Appreciate if anyone could help on this matter. Thanks.

 
Don't worry about the VBR or TLB files . . . there is an easier way to do this.

1) Go to you package that you created in MTS and right click on the package. Select Export.

2) In the folder that you export the package to, another folder will be created called client. In the client folder is an executable . . . run that EXE on you client machine.


That should set up the clients registry with all it needs to run the component. - Jeff Marler
