Managing COM+ Applications and Components
InstallShield 2020
Project:This information applies to the following project types:
| • | Basic MSI |
| • | DIM |
| • | InstallScript MSI |
| • | Merge Module |
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. |
The look and feel of the Component Services view is similar to that of the Component Services administrative tool in the Control Panel.
