PRB: Clireg32 Fails to Register the Type Library of DCOM Server

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create the DCOM Server

1. Create a new ActiveX EXE project in Visual Basic 5; Class1 is created by default.
2. Rename Class1 to "CDCOMServer".
3. On the Project menu, click Project Properties, and rename the project to DCOMServer.
4. Click the Component tab, and then click Remote Server Files.
5. Add the following code to the CDCOMServer class module:

       Private mName As String
   
       Public Property Let sName(str As String)
           mName = str
       End Property
   
       Public Property Get sName() As String
           sName = mName
       End Property
   
       Private Sub Class_Initialize()
           mName = "DCOM Server"
       End Sub
   					

6. Create the ActiveX EXE.

Create the Client

1. Create a new ActiveX Control project in Visual Basic 5.0; UserControl1 is created by default.
2. Rename UserControl1 to "CtlDownload" (without the quotation marks).
3. Add a TextBox, a CommandButton, and a Label to the control.
4. On the Project menu, click References, and then click DCOMServer.
5. Place the following code in the user control's code pane:

       Private Sub Command1_Click()
           Dim svr As New DCOMServer.CDCOMServer
           svr.sName = Text1.Text
           Label1.Caption = svr.sName
       End Sub
   					

6. [Optional] For testing, create a Standard EXE project to test the ActiveX control. Whenever you enter something in the TextBox and click Command1, the same text should be displayed on the Label.
7. Create the CtlDownload OCX.

Create Installation Programs for the Client and the Server
