Yes - they are in different directories but are otherwise identical (size,
data, SHA-1 checksum). The DLL doesn't get registered, only loaded.

Thanks for the hint - I checked this. The Windows service ran as "Local
System" which I guess is an admin account. I changed it to my own admin
user account but that didn't help. I have a third Java program, run as a
Windows service, with that same (default, I guess) "Local System" account,
which can use the DLL and the DCOM communication within it just fine. Next
I used the ZIPped version of Tomcat, set it all up and started it explicitly
from a command line with admin rights, but that gave me the same results.
Unfortunately, since we use some JSP 2.1 features, I can't try this with
Tomcat 5.x.
I tried this both on XP and Vista, and the results were the same.
Does anybody else have an idea why DCOM fails under Tomcat 6?
