If you're planning to install DCOM directly as a part of an install to Win95/98, you might want to take a look at Common Command-Line Switches for Self-Installing Update Files (Q197147), which discusses the command line switches available for self-installing product updates from Microsoft, including DCOM95.EXE and DCOM98.EXE. There are switches to either force or completely prevent the reboot option presented to the user by the DCOM install. If you're going to incorporate it, I'd strongly recommend forcing the reboot and writing a two-part installer, to ensure that all components are updated before the first VFP6 application is run.
