>please allow me one more question: If I want to have a COM+ component running as an NT service on a W2K Server, how I can I do that? I've tried to set this in the property sheet of the COM+ application remotely from an XP MMC, but the setting is automatically reset after closing the property sheet and there is no service showing up in the services list.

The Win2K Resource kit includes a couple of programs to use to set up a standard WinApp as a service; I don't have it installed here, but will find it when I get home and post the file names if someone else doesn't beat me to it...
