My COM+ experience is 10 years old but here's something I'm wondering:
I wonder if what ever classes that are in System.Enterprise.Services ( or
whatever that namespace is that was thrown around ) are really needed?
Maybe those are just wrappers in .NET for the COMAdmin objects just like
they created (unneeded) classes in .NET for installing Windows NT services.
I'm wondering if like .NET Windows Services that perhaps there are
useful classes for creating and hosting a COM+ application but that
perhaps there are other classes that are less then truly needed.
I don't care enough about COM+ to find out so just take that public
thought as-is.

I'll see if I can make a simple repro first and try and come up with some
ideas.
dmm - can you raise a defect so this is not lost?
