SUMMARY
The SendTime sample that is shipped with the Enterprise Edition of Visual
C++ version 4.2 needs DCOM to work. Windows NT version 4.0 supports DCOM by
default, but Windows 95 does not. You can acquire the Windows 95 DCOM
components off of the Visual C++ 5.0 CD or by going to the following
article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
165101 HOWTO: Use Win95 as a DCOM Server
MORE INFORMATION
The DCOM requirement is specified under the topic "Learning About the
SENDTIME Distributed Application" in Books Online. You need an operating
system with DCOM to execute this sample.
When you use the Visual C++ Enterprise Edition, the sample builds on
Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51. When you execute the sample, you get an
error message stating that the entry point, CoCreateInstanceEx, is either
missing or cannot be found in Ole32.dll.
