Hi There,

I hope this is the right group!

I'm having a play with COM but have run into a problem. I've created a
simple COM server with a single interface, no events and no methods (so it's
completely 'virgin') and installed it so that I can see it incomponent
services. I've then created a client app that simple starts the server
using CreateRemote, and it works fine. The trouble is that when I copy the
client app to another machne and then try and start the server on the first
machine (ie using DCOM I guess) I get message 'Interface is not supported'
but it has actually started the server (I can see so in component services)
so it is finding the machine ok. I guess I'm doing something stupid. I'm
using D7 and an XP and Win2K combination.

Anyone any ideas??

Thanks,

Robby

You need to register the type library on the client machine
for early binding to work.

If you're just starting with COM, have a look at this site:
