Hi Andy,

Yes, I was successful in getting my VB6 COM DLLs installed into the
component services, however I'm still working on getting the property
pages set up. Have you gotten yours to install into Component Services?
If not, can I see the snippet of code you're having trouble with?

What I did was harvest the registry settings from the DLLS with the
following commands:

heat file -gg -suid -svb6 -scom -sfrag -nologo "path to vb6 com dll"
-out "path to output wxs file" 

Then in my xml code, I added this to my directory node:

            <Component Id="MyDLLID" Guid="{SOME-GUID}">

              <File Id="MyDLLID"
                    Source="Path to VB6 COM+ DLL"
                    KeyPath="yes"
                    Vital="yes"/>

              <complus:ComPlusApplication Id="NFTSDCComPlusApplication"
Name="NFTS Dictionary Constants">
                <complus:ComPlusAssembly Id="NFTSDCComPlusAssembly"
Type="native" DllPath="[#MyDLLID]">
                  <complus:ComPlusComponent Id="NFTSDCComPlusComponent"
CLSID="SOME-GUID" />
                </complus:ComPlusAssembly>
              </complus:ComPlusApplication>

            </Component>

Hope this helps,
Jim

James,

I saw that you recently had success with getting VB6 COM DLLs to install
into COM+.

I also saw you were attempting to set some of the options on the
Properties page (Activation string?).

I am also struggling along with this and wondered if you had any
snippets or small wxs files you could share?

Thanks

Andy
