Title:
Unable to get COM to run
Environment versions
Network:
Windows 2003 Server
I am in North Carolina.
I have a facility in Louisiana.
I have just upgraded my VFP app. This version uses COM objects to do some processing in the background.
I have everything working perfectly on the server.
On the workstation I can not get the COM servers registered properly.
I will end up flying to LA to fix this. That's pretty much a done deal. I would like to know if anyone else has had problems of this nature so that it may be easier than just fumbling in the dark when I get there.
Server OS is Server 2003. Workstation OS is Win XP Pro.
I have had problems getting these COM's to work in prior installs. The last time I had problems, I recopied the EXE (my COM's are compiled to EXE's) to the workstation about 3 times unregistering and registering them until about the 4th time I did that, it just started working. I knew that did not make any sense and that it would come back to haunt me. Today it did. Sometimes I have no problems, sometimes I do. I do the same thing everytime.
I have a mymainapp.exe that runs and in a certain forms init, these com objects are created.
The bottom line is: They are not registering or at least not properly when I register them on the workstation. Is there something I can check to see if they are registered properly? Is there some other way to register them other than
ITFCOMLEFT.EXE /unregserver
ITFCOMLEFT.EXE /regserver
ITFCOMRGHT.EXE /unregserver
ITFCOMRGHT.EXE /regserver
Thanks,
John
