SignatureThanks Rohit for this suggestion. The error I am seeing is for the
three Win 2003 SP2 servers I have tried. All fail in the same way. The single
Win 2003 SP1 I have tried works OK.
So I am guessing the problem is not related to a problem on one server.
I am learning where to look y reading the manual "OLE/COM - explained" section
for the registry program "RegistryTool".
I've not found a solution yet so any other suggestions are welcome.
Russell

Subject: Re: [DUG] Com Server registration in Win 2003 SP2
It may have nothing to do with it, but it could be damaged dotnet.
Last week I had a situation where suddenly the BDS IDE stopped compiling, but
command line compile still worked. It turned out be corrupted dotnet2 files.
Reinstalling it did not fix it. However, uninstalling and installing again
did. I only found it by comparing every windows exe with another pc. :-)

I am (still) working with D6 on a program that provides a COM/OLE services
on windows clients, windows networks. The program allows VB code in MS Word and
other programs to call these com services in my D6 executable. Typically the
services get data from a Firebird DB and pass it to the requestors.
The program can register its COM interfaces when it first runs or by
running it with the /regserver command line option.
It registers OK in all MS operating systems win9x, win2000, XP, win 2003,
win 2003 SP1, (but not Win 2003 SP2) and Vista (once we use the "real admin"
logon account). I have verified its registration works on each OS mentioned in
actual sites and in my test setup. I have verified the registration is only
partial in Win 2003 SP2. The com interfaces appear in the registry and they are
removed when I run the program with command line /unregserver. Using TREGSRV
does not help.
I repeat that Win 2003 SP1 and below is OK and Win 2003 SP2 gives me this
problem.
The dot (myfile.dot) file used when users are running MS Word as part of
the application, when on Win 2003 SP2, is failing to compile. The VB Editor
tissues the error "Compile error \n Error in Loading DLL" and points to an
object referencing a servive provided by my program. When other programs ask
for com services they are not provided. Yet when I edit this code in the VB
Editor the code completion feature knows about my type library and presents
options from my type library. So my type library seems to have been registered
OK.
This appears to be a Win 2003 SP2 bug. But, as the program is a Delphi 6
product I am hoping someone here has some insights for me. We need the program
running on Win 2003 where it is used as a terminal server.
Insights will be welcome.
Thanks,
Russell Belding
