Hi,

What is the right way to deploy servicedcomponent on remote server?

Here is what i did and it failed to work - I tested the DCOM with VB
component to make sure the communication between two servers worked.

1. created a library project, created a class TestCom inherited from
ServicedComponent, make one test method to return computername from
Environment.MachineName; added strongely named key
2. compile this project to generate a dll, created a COM+ application as
server app, added this dll to that application
3. export this application as proxy to a msi and cab
4. copy this msi and cab to another server, run the msi file, verified that
application installed, remote server name is correct
5. open vs.net - trying to reference that dll - It did not allow me to
reference it as I could in VB - it asked me to reference the originally
assembly (this got me confused - if I wanted to use remote server approach,
that means I do not want to install my original assembly on client machine)
6. copied the orginal assembly from original machine, references it and try
to run, got error
