>>>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.

>>Where are you find DCOM98? I know it's on the CD but can we distribute that and if not, where can we send our users. This C00000005 error is driving me nuts.

>I believe it's on the first VS CD in the \DCOM98 directory; it can be used safely with Win95 and/or Win98. Yes, it's distributable. Since the error really only applies to Win95 (Win98 includes the DCOM support in the base install), you can download DCOM95.EXE version 1.2 from Microsoft's web page to fix all versions of Win95; DCOM should already be installed by default under Win98, and must be installed by installing SP3 or later for NT 4.0 systems. NT 5 beta 2/Win2K both include the new DCOM components already.

>FWIW, the same components are installed when you install IE 4.01, so if IE 4.01 is present, the error shouldn't occur, either (in fact, versions of IE going back to 3.02 installed the needed files under Win95.)


Thanks!!
