If you register the components on the Win2K machine using the "normal"
regsvr32, it will indicate whether it is a COM+ problem or a general
Registration problem (it probably is the latter). I think that ADO 2.5 is
actually installed on Win2K by default, so it is probably not that.
I have been caught out before where one of the COM dlls used an IStrings
interface and for that to work you must regsvr32 the StdVCL32.dll on that
machine. It may be worth while to check that one out... it could just be
that some of the Delphi ADO components use IStrings... (a bit of a long
shot)...
Another *silly* one is to make sure you have "administrator" rights.... MS
error messages do not always tell the *entire/exact* truth...
