Unable to install Application Proxy

[Guest_imported]

Hi,
We have a component written in VB6 that is to be used under the COM+ environment. First we used a NT4 server, and using MTS we would host the server DLL there, and export the package as an exe file to install the proxy on clients, and everything worked fine.
A few days ago, we moved the server computer to Windows 2000, and installed the packaged under COM+ (We even re-compiled the DLL under a Windows 2000 env.) If I export the application proxy (.MSI) and run it on the client machines, it only works on 1 machine (out of 4 tested).. We tried on three NT machines and one Windows 2000 machine (client), and one of the NT machine registers it correctly. The two other NT and the 2k machine doesn't work at all.. I don't get any error message during the package installation (MSI works successfully), but the proxy doesn't seem to be installed (I get ActiveX Can't Create Object errors...)

Thanks

Hi Joun,
We have a similar problem and we need to install on all machines the latest Microsoft Installer (We have the 2.0 version).

And you'll need to download some patches for the win 2k server that corrects some problems when you export the package.

Check the following link for information about the fixes:

I hope this help you.

Cheers,
