Hi MMykhailo,

Yes and the way is simple. Add the COM+ DLL files into the setup project and set the Register property of the COM+ DLL files to vsdraCOM.To do this, right click the COM+ DLL file in Solution Explorer and choose Properties. In the Properties window, set the Register property to vsdraCOM.

When building the setup project, Visual Studio extractsthe COM registrationentriesand populates the appropriate tables in the MSI package. When installing the resulted MSI package, COM+ components will be installed on the target machine and the registration entries will becopied to the Registry as well, so that the COM+ components are registered on the target machine.

Thanks,
Linda Liu

I did this in a setup program that I included in a ClickOnce bootstrapper.

It worked successfully when the program was published to and ran from a disk, but not when published to the web. The program when downloaded from the webfailed to install with the following error:

An error occurred while installing system components for<ClickOnce program name>. Setup cannot continue until all system components have been successfully installed.

The following package files could not be found

C:\Documents and Settings\<window user name>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\ASL2CVHR\<prerequisite package name>\<setup program>.ms

Any suggestions?
