Dear All,

I am using Wise Package Studio 5.6/7

One of my application installs COM+ applications and these won't get captured.
With Wise, we have an option "MTS/COM+" in the Advanced section of "Installation Expert". I tried using this, but it still not installed.
Seems I am making some mistakes there.

Anybody any info on this topic will be of great help

When the installation about the complete I am getting the error "Error registering COM+ Application. Contact Your support personnel for more information."

Verbose Log showing the error as 2945 Internal Error.
I am not able to get much info on this.

One thread in this site mentioned about the same problem and resolved by deleting the duplicate ProgID. I am not having any such issues, still it throws error.

Any idea.............

What does your command line/MSI Logging registry entry look like? I ask because your log entry doesn't look particularly verbose to me! It should contain an entry similar to this:

Internal Error 2945: Installation of ComPlus App C:\Program Files\COMPlus Applications\[GUID]\APL4.tmp, [some negative number]

The "[some negative number]" is what we need.

Anyway, I'm willing to bet that your target workstation is missing a file (or several files) which the COM+ app requires as a dependency.

- Run Dependency Walker on the target. DW is a free d/l from MS.
- Drop the EXE onto Dependency Walker
- Examine the list of files with red highlighting. Ignore the usual suspects like MPR.DLL.

I tried with dependecy walker but not of much help.

Based on your clue of error code, I searched the net and able to find the below link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308940

With the information in the above link I was able to find out the exact problem with my COMPlus installation.
The default exported Complus application is trying to install the application to default location and from that location the dll's are failing to register (I really don't know why). I tried installing it in some other location (Actually to base location) and it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Thanks for your help.

SPOT ON!!!!!!!
Used Dependecy walker.
Yes, there is one file (.bpl) which is required for the registration of these dll's in the same location. Now it is registering.

Thanks a lot.

Actually this is the first time I am working with COM Applications, really learnt few new things.

I need one more favour, is it possible to add the current logged on user to the "Roles-->CreatorOwner-->User" of the COM+ Application using some script or any other method other than manually adding.

[VBScab]

Google, Google, Google...

Good old AppDeploy, my second home.

[Vijay_k]

Thanks for your help.

I am able to create the script for the same.
