[DUG] Com support

[Conor Boyd]

Can you give more details about the "calls not working"?

E.g. presumably in your client code, you're trying to instantiate the
COM object you want to work with?  E.g. MyObj := CoSomeClass.Create; 

Is this call succeeding, but subsequent calls failing, etc?

If this call is failing, then, as Leigh suggests, your COM EXE is not
properly registered on the client machine.  COM exes can be registered
by running the exe with a /regserver parameter on the command line.

Is this COM or DCOM?  I.e. are you trying to instantiate a COM object on
another PC?

Any more details you can give about the specifics of the failure would
be good.

Its actually an exe that provides COM support.  I was missing the .tlb
which I managed to copy back of another machine.  This now allows me to
bring up the type library but alas still no com support.  It is failing
on multiple machines.

Sorry our Internet is down.  Will provide further details ASAP.
