Hi everyone!

Does anybody know how to programmatically install a COM+ application
and set the identity account (domain\user)?

I'm using c# (.net 1.1x) winxp sp2, win2003 rc2

[assembly: ApplicationActivation(ActivationOption.Server)]
MyComponent: ComponentService
{
....
}

I was looking into the methods from
System.EnterpriseServices.RegistrationHelper:

RegistrationHelper helper = new
RegistrationHelper();
            RegistrationConfig config = new RegistrationConfig();
            config.Application = "xxxx";
            config.ApplicationRootDirectory = installDirectory;
            config.AssemblyFile =
typeof(SecurityInfo.UserInfo).Assembly.Location;
            config.InstallationFlags =
InstallationFlags.FindOrCreateTargetApplication;
            helper.InstallAssemblyFromConfig(ref config);

...but there is nowhere I can put the account under which I want to run
this component nor I find any attributes that seem to help.

Have you any ideas? I wouldn't mind using (not yet wrapped) COM or
win32 functions.

Thanks in advance,

Lennin

Nevermind. using COMAdmin (com reference) it works : )

Code used:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMAdminCatalog ca = new COMAdminCatalogClass();

                COMAdminCatalogCollection cacc =
(COMAdminCatalogCollection)ca.GetCollection("Applications");
                cacc.Populate();
                foreach(COMAdminCatalogObject cac in cacc)
                {
                    if(cac.Name.ToString() == config.Application)
                    {
                        cac.set_Value("Identity", user);
                        cac.set_Value("Password", password);
                        cacc.SaveChanges();

                        Logger.Write("Setting identity sucessfully.");
                        break;
                    }
                }
