This may be a dumb suggestion, but is there a chance that you have to register the object locally before you can access it remotely; so the the COM engine knows what it's talking to?

We are looking to make the move to CF7.1 from 6.1 and the following code is proving to be a problem. <cfobject action="CREATE" context="REMOTE" server="192.168.0.101" type="COM" name="talker" class={C89B6335-B690-11D5-8A14-00D0B790C084}> In 6.1 CF connects to the com correctly on the other machine and we are able to carry out the actions. We need this because we run 10 load balanced CF machines, and the COM program is quite heavy so we cant install it on all the machines. On running this code on a cf 7 box I get the folowing: An exception occurred when instantiating a Com object. The cause of this exception was that: AutomationException: 0x80040154 - Class not registered. The error occurred in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\testai.cfm: line 2 1 : 2 : <cfobject action="CREATE" context="REMOTE" server="192.168.0.101" type="COM" name="talker" class={C89B6335-B690-11D5-8A14-00D0B790C084}> 3 : Why does this work in 6 and not in 7?
