Error Registering COM+ Application

[chantal]

Hi people

From COM+ server(W2K with SP4) , i export the package. when i run this
package on another W2K (with SP4) PC i get the error "Error registering COM+
Application".

So i tried it on an XP pc and the package installs fine without any
hassles..

The package or the DLL's were never registered on any of those PC's before,
so why would i get this error on the W2K pc ?

Please help if you know the answer...

many thanks
C.

Seems like ive solved the problem, i had to import the TLB files into COM +
package. So when i compiled my DLL's i had to check the "Remote Server
Files" check box to not only create the DLL but the TLB too...

This package now installs on the client PC, and runs fine.

This worked for my issue.

try this Fix:

*** Open RegEdit and locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\COM3 key and delete it
*** Go to Add/Remove Programs and select the Add/Remove Windows Components
*** Complete the wizard by clicking "Next" all the way through
*** Restart the machine and try the install again
