Shawn and Kent,

First, thanks for the great responses.

Shawn: You are correct; you can export the COM+ application using the application proxy which will create an MSI file. You can then install the MSI on all of the workstations. The three negatives that I ran into are as follows 1) The user must be an administrator of the workstation 2) I have about 12,000 workstations to install this on, and 3) Microsoft installer has to be on all of the workstations (we still have a great deal of 9x and NT 4.0).

I believe my solution was in a round about way similar to Kent’s suggestion (at least I think they accomplish the same thing). The registry keys below had to be on the client workstations and then you can instantiate the COM object from KiXtart. Of course only an admin can add a key to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. To get around this, I wrote a quick program to remotely add the keys to all active workstations.

Thanks again for the assistance,
Tommy
