----------------------------------------------------------- From: Mahesh ChandraMouli Message 4 in Discussion Hi Vinu, thunk DLL does not contain any library code, it only dynamically loads the library code the first time it is used. Without using ur MSI, have you tried manually creating a package on ur peers machine. I doubt there is some problem in the MSI you have generated.

Scenario is as follows Objective : Create a COM+Components which includes Business Layer as well as Data Layer bundled in to one DLL namely AISCLIB.DLL. This is a .NET Com Component that will be installed in a server. Some of the classes in this DLL support transactions. Construction String for the Data layer components are passed via the Constructor string of the component. I need my peers to develop UI interacting with this DLL,ie during design time to refer this and create respective forms. Steps performed : 1. Platform used is VB.NET 2. Created a Project with strong name and registered the same using regsvcs, also included this dll as a part of GAC 3. Testing in the same machines for the component was successful Steps performed to make it accessible to other machines 1. Accesses COM + Explorer and Created a MSI file using Export option 2. In another machine in the network installed the same, made sure the same is displayed in the explorer with respective settings 3. Opened a VB.NEt Project 5. I try to add the reference of this DLL using the COM tab - This gives me the error that "Reference coule not be added. Converting the type to a .NET assembly failed. Object reference set to an instance of an object" 6. When I try to add it as a .NET type it gives an error "A reference to AISCLIB could not be added. Converting the type library to a .NET assembly failed. Type library AISCLIB was exported from a CLR assembly and cannot be re-imported as a CLR assembly" When i referred the directory contents of the component it lists the following AISCLIB.tlb mscoree.tlb mscorlib.tlb System.EnterpriseServices.Thunk.dll System.EnterpriseServices.tlb ******** I'm not sure what I'm missing out. I would not prefer using LATE BINDING here using CreateObject. Please help me. One more doubt,what is this Thunk file which gets created?. Well this is not a priority and will find out if no one word answers exist. Platform --VS 1.0 Version in Windows Server 2000. Hope this information is sufficient. Please let me know if you need any further info on this.
