FYI - My PC is Windows 2000 running MS Office XP.
The Problem: When I register an DCOM application on my PC, it doesn't show up in DCOMCNFG. Here is what I did.
I registered a VB6.0o DCOM application on my PC by selecting Start, Run, and entering "\\Servername\pathname\prjULAdvertising.exe /regserver". If I run Dcomcnfg from the Start/Run it does not appear in the list of application. So I went into the registry (RegEdit) to view it, by keying on the class prjULAdvertising.ULAdvertising... I find the class ID entry, but it does not have AppID entry for the class ID... you know that {long number that is the Class ID}. So I created a data entry for AppID with the {long number}.
I checked in the registry where the entries showed up for my DCOM against another PC that has a similar DCOM application registered. It looks like everything is in place. I've triple checked that I packaged the DCOM application as a DCOM and it does have the .VBR file in it.
Any ideas or suggestions?
 
FYI - I have another DCOMCNFG problem that may be tied to this one... see thread195-1345414
