Hi,

I have created a simple COM+ application on XP box and compiled the
component with a strong name and with"Register for COM interop" enabled. The
component is then registered on COM+ and I have created an .msi file by
doing an export in COM+ with the following properties:
1. Server application
2. Save application in COM+ 1.0 format.

When I try to run this .msi file on Win2k server( sp4) as an Administrator
user, Iam getting the following error:
"Error registering COM+ Application. Contact your support personnel for more
information."

The Win2k server Iam using is clean without any other application installed
on it.

The component class has an Interface defined with a Guid attribute and
class has the following attributes set:
[Guid("2EB07BCA-FCF6-481e-94F9-C2E03E95577E")]

[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]

[ComVisible(true)]

public class COMPlusTest : ServicedComponent, ICOMPlusTest

{

}

The class do not have any other dependencies.

I have to mention that if the Interface is not used then the components .msi
file is running successfully on Win2k.

I also have to mention that the .msi file is running successfully on another
XP box ( .msi file created with out the "Save application in COM+ 1.0
format."). The problem is only on Win 2k.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Srikanth.

See if this helps.

FIX: "Access to the Registry Key Denied" Error Message When You
Register .NET Assembly for COM Interop
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=327507

Also make sure the latest Win2k service pack is installed.

Thanks for that one.

Next problem: I also had the same error (a simple Vb.net serviced
component on which I did strong name, registered using gacutil,
imported the dll to component services etc etc and successfully
registered it in Com+ Component services with no errors. I then
exported the application proxy from the COM+ package and it worked
fine on the same machine which has component services on it - I can
see the little ball spinning! (win2k sp4 with the 327507 fix in)

On the other machine, with exactly the same fix in (win2K sp4, regkey
edited to give full permissions to everyone) I get the "COM+ object
failed to register" error *and* when I try to access the object from
e.g. vb6 using createobject("class.class","192.168.1.36") I get
"Automation Error: Catastrophic Failure".

Just as a sanity check, were you logged on under the account included
into the local admin group when the registration failure occurred?
