Can someone please give me the details to register a DLL with COM+.

I have tried but with no success. Adding the Extra Resource, what
shoud the ComponentVSUID be ?

Do i need to add the file in extra files ? or can it be in a component
already ?

Looking at existing COM+ Resources DLLs have a name
FBRegDLL(819):"%11%\comsvcs.dll",""

Does the format matter for the name ?

Please help... as this is the only hold up for my deployment

Leave ComponentVSGUID set to zeroes. Since it's an extra resource, it's
not associated with a component.

If the file isn't owned by a component already, then yes, you need to
add it as an Extra File.

Use the DirID's to reference folders (%11% references \Windows\System32
- you can check these by looking at the Add File Resource dialog and
inspecting the target dir entries). This ensures that the resource will
reference the right file no matter where it's booted from.
