Managing COM+ Server Applications
InstallShield 2020
Project:This information applies to the following project types:
| • | Basic MSI |
| • | DIM |
| • | InstallScript MSI |
| • | Merge Module |
To configure the installation settings for a COM+ server application:
| 1. | In the View List under Server Configuration, click Component Services. |
| 2. | In the Component Services explorer, select the COM+ application that you would like to configure if you have not already done so. |
| 3. | On the Installation tab, select the Server check box. |
Note:You must select the Proxy check box, the Server check box, or both check boxes. Once you clear one of these check boxes, the other check box remains selected but it is no longer available; this prevents you from clearing both check boxes.
| 4. | Select the Refresh the COM+ settings from the client machine at build check box if appropriate. |
| 5. | If your installation does not include the COM+ application proxy support, clear the Proxy check box |
When you add a COM+ server application to your project, InstallShield creates a corresponding component for each of the features that are associated with the proxy component. This component has the COM+ application’s server .dll files.
Note:If the selected COM+ application includes both server and proxy installations, you can add installation conditions so that the appropriate COM+ application is installed on the target machine. For more information, see Including a COM+ Application that Targets Servers and Client Machines.
