Yes, you'll need to do the following:
1. Run TlbImp.exe (.net Framework tool) to generate a managed runtime
rapper for the comadmin.dll library (which gives you programmatic access to
the COM+ catalog. I think the syntax is:
tlbimp comadmin.dll /out:comadminLIB.dll
You can also get this library wrapper through VS.NET and skip the next step
by adding a project reference on the COM tab to the "COM+ 1.0 Admin Type
Library" dll.
2. If you are using VS.NET, reference this DLL in your project references.
3. Place a using/imports statement at the top of your class file for
comadminDLL.
4. Place a using/imports statement at the top of your class file for
System.Enterprise services.
5. In your class method, instantiate the RegistrationHelper
(System.EnterpriseServices.RegistrationHelper).
6. Uinstall the assembly if it is already installed:
helper.UninstallAssembly("fullassemblyname.dll","friendlyname")
7. Install your assembly into COM+
helper.InstallAssembly("fullassemblyname.dll","friendlyname")
8. Create an instace of the COMAdminCategog object and ICatalogCollection:
COMAdminCatalog cat = new COMAdminCatalog();
ICatalogCollection col = cat.GetCollection("Applications") as
ICatalogCollection;
col.Populate();
9. Loop through the catalog collection to find your package, then set
the "Identity" and "Password" values of the ICatalogObject:
foreach(ICatalogObject application in col)
{
if(application.get_Value("Name").ToString()
== "friendlyname")
{
Console.Write("\nSetting COM+ application package
identity");
application.set_Value
("Identity", "domian\\username);
application.set_Value
("Password", "somesecretpassword");
col.SaveChanges();
Console.WriteLine("Done!\n");
break;
}
}
10. That should do it!
I hope you find this information helpful. Digging around for this can be
quite a task!
