COM+ Initialization Error

Hi All,

I've got a weird problem that I'm hoping someone's seen before.

We've got about 15 components running in COM+ with an ASP front end.
Every few hours the components fall over with ASP giving the error "".

To get them working again involved either shutting down the COM+
application or a reboot.  If the COM+ MMS is left open we're able to
shut down the application ok and then everything comes back to life.  If
we've closed the MMC then trying to open it give us the error: "Unable
to start application because (DacCom) is not installed properly.  Please
reinstall this product.".

We've spent quite a lot of time trying to find out what's causing this
but so far have been unable to track it down.  We've got customers who
are using this code on other systems and they're getting the same thing
so I'm guessing it's not anything to do with our setup.  We're not sure
whether this is happening at random points or is caused but a specific
action.

Another weird side effect is that durring the period when the components
can't be access we're unable to get into the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE part of
the registry.  This means that a host of other applications (e.g
Notepad) fail too.

Can anyone Help?  Please.. ?


Kind regards,

Mark Hall

Subject: [VBCOM] Uinstallation Problem


Hi ,
       WE have developed one application using vb, com+ and sql server.
We are distributing our com+ components as MSI Package. We have created
the package using Install Shield. So while installing our application it
will install the components using the MSI package. Its getting
registered in the registry and it works fine. But while we uninstall the
software its not removing the registry entries of our components. Some
times it over writes and some times it doenst (registry keys) .  How can
i solve this problem. Is there anything to do with package script or ?

Thx and Regards
Manikandan
