I am not sure, since I never ran DCOM on Win 98. According to the MSDN article "HOWTO: Use a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me Computer as a DCOM Server", the DCOM exe on the server has to be started before client application will be able to access it. I would guess it still should be running when one of the clients closes the application.

>>You need to add the description for the class, then COM EXE does not bomb with that "Invalid read from the .VBR file..." message when you run Clireg32. Either right click on the class in Project Manager and edit description, or go to Class Info and edit the description there.
