Component Services View
InstallShield 2020
Project:The Component Services view is available in the following project types:
The Component Services view enables you to manage COM+ applications and components for your installation package. You can manage both COM+ server applications and application proxies. A COM+ application proxy consists of a subset of the attributes of the server application, and it enables remote access from a client machine to the machine where the application resides.
Note the following information regarding component services in InstallShield:
|
•
|
Only non-system COM+ applications can be added to your project. Therefore, InstallShield displays only non-system COM+ applications under the COM+ Applications explorer in the Component Services view. |
|
•
|
Only the COM+ applications that are installed on the local machine are included in the Component Services view and available for you to add to your projects. |
|
•
|
An application proxy is available for COM+ server applications only, not for library applications. |
When you select a COM+ application in the Component Services view, several tabs are displayed:
The settings on the Installation tab are InstallShield-specific settings. The settings on the other tabs are similar to those in the Component Services administrative tool in the Control Panel. For details on each of the settings on the Installation tab, see Installation Tab. To learn about the settings on the other tabs, consult the Component Services help.
