Managing COM+ Applications and Components

InstallShield 2019 Express Edition

With the Component Services view in InstallShield, you can manage COM+ server applications and components for your installation package.

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.

The look and feel of the Component Services view is similar to that of the Component Services administrative tool in the Control Panel.

Edition • InstallShield Premier Edition and InstallShield Professional Edition provide additional functionality in the Component Services view; these editions enable you to 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.
