>>>After reading about MTS for a few months, I'm finally trying to use it. I've created the component and it works fine on my PC. Now I need to run it remotely on a client PC. Everything I've read says that I can right-click on the package in MTS explorer and then export the package. A client install EXE is supposed to be created at the same time at the package file. However, no EXE is created when I do this. So, how do get the remote computer to know about the component that is running in MTS?

I remember going through this. Check for a "clients" directory on the drive you specified in the Export dialog.
The Export dialog says "Enter the full path for the package file to be created. It neglects to tell you that you also have to specify the file name of the .PAK file. So if you want to export the ExAir package to c:\mypack enter "c:\mypack\ExAir" This will create a folder named "mypack" with the file "ExAir.PAK" in it. It will also have a folder named "clients" which will contain a file name ExAir.exe. That file is the client setup program.

"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons." - Douglas Adams
