DCOM deployment without delphi installed!

Hi

I wonder if anyone can help me with the following problem:

1.) I have an application that launches an automation server ( both
application and automation server built with Delphi4).

2) I ran at least once the automation server so that the registry is set
up properly with the type library.

3) If I install the application on a clean machine with Windows NT 4.0
SP 4 without Delphi installed, ( but executing step 2 above ) then when
I  try to launch an automation server I get the following message:
"interface not supported"!!

Has anyone experienced this problem before? Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks
Paulo

Paulo,

As a first point of call, look in the registry for your main class GUID and
also look for your interfaces as well.

Re:DCOM deployment without delphi installed!


What are the steps you've taken. Don't forget the normal behaviour of delphi
also forces you the Server interface is also registered on the client
machine.
So first register the server on your machine and then run the client. If you
use Delphi specifik interfaces youy also need to deploy the STDVCL40.DLL
wich surves for some default delphi interfaces.
