On my development box (2008) I have built an exe with an ole public class in
it. I can see the class through dcomcnfg on the development box.
On the production box (2000) I install and register the exe with /regserver,
but I can't see an entry for the class through dcomcnfg. TLB and VBR files
are present and up to date. Entries are in the registry and appear to be
correct.



The application used to register successfully on the production machine. 2
things have changed:
I changed the administrator user name & password on the production box.
I have a new development box and the COM GUIDs have changed.

When I run dcomcnfg the list of COM objects appears to be shorter than
normal. I am wondering whether it is a permissions issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Paul,

You should better post this to the MSDN forums. Personal i think this can
belong to the complete new architecture from Windows server 2008, which is
different from Windows server 2000.
