<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello John</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for his suggestion. You idea that security
or permissions was the error has happened with Vista. In Vista one cannot
register the components of a COM EXE server by simply by running the
program, as D6 can register an exe server and as works in Win 2000 and Win XP.
One needs to register it using the real admin account. If anyone wants notes on
this email me. russell at belding dot co dot nz.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The problem is I think in the registry but not with
permissions. It seems Win 2003 SP2 has changed something relating to com
registration after SP1. I am learning the OLE/COM registry requirements now
through the package RegstryTool and its documentation. I am slowed down being on
Jury Duty far a while.</FONT></DIV>

may be off the track, but as I have often found that the problem was not
in the area I was looking - is it possible that for instance there is some
security setting is preventing the interface from working? ie a shrewd
look at what has changed in the Win2003 SP2 might give a hint, epecially to do
with the security model. If the settings are in the registry it
sort of hints at something like that.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks 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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I am guessing the problem is not related to
a problem on one server. </FONT></DIV>

call these com services in my D6 executable. Typically the services get
data from a Firebird DB and pass it to the requestors.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The program can register its COM interfaces

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.</FONT></DIV>
