Hello,

I have a question. Using DCOM, I have a server on one pc, and multiple
clients over a network. To install this, do I have to run the server on
the clients pc's to register the server interface?

I must deliver install versions of them both, and I want to make the
install easy for them (so they won't mess things up :-). How can I
register the server interface without running the server? Is this
possible?

Can this be solved by registry settings, or including the server tlb
with the client?

Greetings,

Ferry van Genderen

No you should not be running the server on the client to register the type
library.  This can lead to configuration problems.  Your best bet, which from
your post you already know, is to distribute only the type library and maybe
some registry entries.
Here's a little problem to register TLBs.  Sorry, it's C++.
