Hi

I am setting up a new Windows 2012 server and I registered by COM server and it loads in VFP's IDE and I can execute the ProcessHit method but it does not show in the Component Services under DCom config. I have other Windows 2012 Server where it does show but not on this new server. Any ideas what might be the cause of this issue?

I do not know the cause but I exported the registry keys for the CLSID from another server and imported them into the registry on the new server and everything worked fine.

Make sure you're running the 32 bit version of DCOMCNFG not the 64 bit one. 64 bit will not show the right keys which is why you don't see your server. If you imported those imported keys from a 32 bit machine those probably don't work right because they'd be pointing at the wrong registry hive. The keys in question will be the 32 bit compatible registry hive.

More info here:

• FoxPro EXE DCOM Configuration on 64 Bit Systems
• Web Connection Optional DCOM Configuration

Also the Console.exe's DCOM registration can register COM components for you and add them to the right DCOM registry.

Hi

My server does show up when I use mmc comexp.exe /32 and it is working fine. I had exported them from a 64bit machine.

Thanks, Simon
