Installing C# Com interop on other machine

[Razzie]

Hey all,

I developed an application as a com object. I set the 'register for com
interop' in the project properties to true.

How do I deploy this on another machine? I can't add the DLL as a COM object
in Component Services.

THanks,

Razzie

Razzie,

The first thing you need to do is make sure that you have the framework
installed on the machine which you will be installing components for COM+
on.

If that is in place, then you shouldn't select "register for COM
interop" as you aren't registering for COM interop. Rather, what you want
to do is run regsvcs.exe on the assembly, which will register it properly in
COM+.

If you know that your client is a .NET client, then your component will
be registered automatically upon first use.

Hope this helps.

Nicholas,

Thanks for your reply. I will test this soon and hope it works

Ok new problem:

'The assembly does not have a strong name'. It says that on the deployement
machine.

Now I read something about creating a key using the sn.exe tool, added it to
my project, recompiled, but now I get the error (on the developement
machine) that my other dll files (some exchange interop files) do not have a
strong name. How do I give those a strong name, I can't edit that into my
assemblyinfo.cs file can I. What a lot of work to deploy a project

Thanks,

Razzie
