Never used the implements - but if you only want one exe why not

(1) ensure "C:\Program Files (x86)\netappdirectory\filename.tlb" exists on the build server

(2) DEFINE CLASS AppEvents AS SESSION
IMPLEMENTS iEvents IN "C:\Program Files (x86)\netappdirectory\filename.tlb"



So it will always compile on the build server

Finally test whether the exe works on both 32 bit and 64 bit systems

>Thanks but it's a no-go. :( In both cases, we have to compile a 32 bit version (with the path there) and a 64 bit version (with the x86 path there) for this to work. don't want two separate exes... and if the path doesn't exist at build time (which it won't on a build server), then it won't work for either :(
