Registration free COM

[Nick]

Hi there,

I'm following the article on MSDN titled "Configuring .NET-Based
Components for Registration-Free Activation". My understanding is that this
will allow me to use COM components in a .NET application without having to
call regsvr32.exe on them upon installation.

Unfortauntely I am having difficulty working out what needs to be done,
do I just need an application manifest? If anyone has a really simple
example of this being achieved I would be most appreciative if you could
share it. Thanks loads in advance for your help.

Hi again,

Just to add to this, I have just found out that VS.NET 2005 includes an
"Isolated" property for COM references. This has enabled me to do what I am
trying to achieve but I would like to do this for VS.NET 2003. Has anyone
any ideas on this? Thanks loads again in advance!

Nick.

Hi again,

I've hacked out the isolation information that VS.NET 2005 creates and
most of the control works fine, but not all of it. Would this be a problem
with isolation itself or the control? Thanks again....
